Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxx - Canute Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDEFGHHFG| A pleasant music floats along the Mere | A |
| From Monks in Ely chanting service high | B |
| While as Canute the King is rowing by | B |
| My Oarsmen quoth the mighty King draw near | A |
| That we the sweet song of the Monks may hear | C |
| He listens all past conquests and all schemes | D |
| Of future vanishing like empty dreams | D |
| Heart touched and haply not without a tear | E |
| The Royal Minstrel ere the choir is still | F |
| While his free Barge skims the smooth flood along | G |
| Gives to that rapture an accordant Rhyme | H |
| O suffering Earth be thankful sternest clime | H |
| And rudest age are subject to the thrill | F |
| Of heaven descended Piety and Song | G |
