Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCCDEDEED

III Concluded American EpiscopacyA

-
Patriots informed with Apostolic lightB
Were they who when their Country had been freedC
Bowing with reverence to the ancient creedC
Fixed on the frame of England's Church their sightB
And strove in filial love to reuniteB
What force had severed Thence they fetched the seedC
Of Christian unity and won a meedC
Of praise from Heaven To Thee O saintly whiteC
Patriarch of a wide spreading familyD
Remotest lands and unborn times shall turnE
Whether they would restore or build to TheeD
As one who rightly taught how zeal should burnE
As one who drew from out Faith's holiest urnE
The purest stream of patient EnergyD

William Wordsworth
