Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Ii. - Xxxi - Edward Vi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEFDF| Sweet is the holiness of Youth so felt | A |
| Time honoured Chaucer speaking through that Lay | B |
| By which the Prioress beguiled the way | B |
| And many a Pilgrim's rugged heart did melt | A |
| Hadst thou loved Bard whose spirit often dwelt | A |
| In the clear land of vision but foreseen | C |
| King child and seraph blended in the mien | C |
| Of pious Edward kneeling as he knelt | A |
| In meek and simple infancy what joy | D |
| For universal Christendom had thrilled | E |
| Thy heart what hopes inspired thy genius skilled | E |
| O great Precursor genuine morning Star | F |
| The lucid shafts of reason to employ | D |
| Piercing the Papal darkness from afar | F |
