Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - V - Walton's Book Of Lives Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDBAEEFAFC| There are no colours in the fairest sky | A |
| So fair as these The feather whence the pen | B |
| Was shaped that traced the lives of these good men | B |
| Dropped from an Angel's wing With moistened eye | A |
| We read of faith and purest charity | C |
| In Statesman Priest and humble Citizen | D |
| Oh could we copy their mild virtues then | B |
| What joy to live what blessedness to die | A |
| Methinks their very names shine still and bright | E |
| Apart like glow worms on a summer night | E |
| Or lonely tapers when from far they fling | F |
| A guiding ray or seen like stars on high | A |
| Satellites burning in a lucid ring | F |
| Around meek Walton's heavenly memory | C |
William Wordsworth
