Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xlvii - Conclusion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADDDEDDEDD

Why sleeps the future as a snake enrolledA
Coil within coil at noon tide For the WORDB
Yields if with unpresumptuous faith exploredC
Power at whose touch the sluggard shall unfoldA
His drowsy rings Look forth that Stream beholdA
That stream upon whose bosom we have passedD
Floating at ease while nations have effacedD
Nations and Death has gathered to his foldD
Long lines of mighty Kings look forth my SoulE
Nor in this vision be thou slow to trustD
The living Waters less and less by guiltD
Stained and polluted brighten as they rollE
Till they have reached the eternal City builtD
For the perfected Spirit of the justD

William Wordsworth
