Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xlii - Cathedrals, Etc. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDAEFFEGG| Open your gates ye everlasting Piles | A |
| Types of the spiritual Church which God hath reared | B |
| Not loth we quit the newly hallowed sward | C |
| And humble altar 'mid your sumptuous aisles | A |
| To kneel or thrid your intricate defiles | A |
| Or down the nave to pace in motion slow | D |
| Watching with upward eye the tall tower grow | D |
| And mount at every step with living wiles | A |
| Instinct to rouse the heart and lead the will | E |
| By a bright ladder to the world above | F |
| Open your gates ye Monuments of love | F |
| Divine thou Lincoln on thy sovereign hill | E |
| Thou stately York and Ye whose splendours cheer | G |
| Isis and Cam to patient Science dear | G |
