Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xx - Baptism Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDEFE| Dear be the Church that watching o'er the needs | A |
| Of Infancy provides a timely shower | B |
| Whose virtue changes to a Christian Flower | B |
| A Growth from sinful Nature's bed of weeds | A |
| Fitliest beneath the sacred roof proceeds | A |
| The ministration while parental Love | C |
| Looks on and Grace descendeth from above | C |
| As the high service pledges now now pleads | A |
| There should vain thoughts outspread their wings and fly | D |
| To meet the coming hours of festal mirth | E |
| The tombs which hear and answer that brief cry | D |
| The Infant's notice of his second birth | E |
| Recall the wandering Soul to sympathy | F |
| With what man hopes from Heaven yet fears from Earth | E |
