Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xl - Continued Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEFDF| Mine ear has rung my spirit sunk subdued | A |
| Sharing the strong emotion of the crowd | B |
| When each pale brow to dread hosannas bowed | B |
| While clouds of incense mounting veiled the rood | A |
| That glimmered like a pine tree dimly viewed | A |
| Through Alpine vapours Such appalling rite | C |
| Our Church prepares not trusting to the might | C |
| Of simple truth with grace divine imbued | A |
| Yet will we not conceal the precious Cross | D |
| Like men ashamed the Sun with his first smile | E |
| Shall greet that symbol crowning the low Pile | E |
| And the fresh air of incense breathing morn | F |
| Shall wooingly embrace it and green moss | D |
| Creep round its arms through centuries unborn | F |
