Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part I. - Xxxvi - An Interdict Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDAEFFEFE| Realms quake by turns proud Arbitress of grace | A |
| The Church by mandate shadowing forth the power | B |
| She arrogates o'er heaven's eternal door | C |
| Closes the gates of every sacred place | A |
| Straight from the sun and tainted air's embrace | A |
| All sacred things are covered cheerful morn | D |
| Grows sad as night no seemly garb is worn | D |
| Nor is a face allowed to meet a face | A |
| With natural smiles of greeting Bells are dumb | E |
| Ditches are graves funereal rites denied | F |
| And in the churchyard he must take his bride | F |
| Who dares be wedded Fancies thickly come | E |
| Into the pensive heart ill fortified | F |
| And comfortless despairs the soul benumb | E |
