Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xx - Other Influences Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEFF| Ah when the Body round which in love we clung | A |
| Is chilled by death does mutual service fail | B |
| Is tender pity then of no avail | B |
| Are intercessions of the fervent tongue | A |
| A waste of hope From this sad source have sprung | A |
| Rites that console the Spirit under grief | C |
| Which ill can brook more rational relief | C |
| Hence prayers are shaped amiss and dirges sung | A |
| For Souls whose doom is fixed The way is smooth | D |
| For Power that travels with the human heart | E |
| Confession ministers the pang to soothe | D |
| In him who at the ghost of guilt doth start | E |
| Ye holy Men so earnest in your care | F |
| Of your own mighty instruments beware | F |
