Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xxii - Catechising Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDFGE| From Little down to Least in due degree | A |
| Around the Pastor each in new wrought vest | B |
| Each with a vernal posy at his breast | B |
| We stood a trembling earnest Company | A |
| With low soft murmur like a distant bee | A |
| Some spake by thought perplexing fears betrayed | C |
| And some a bold unerring answer made | C |
| How fluttered then thy anxious heart for me | A |
| Beloved Mother Thou whose happy hand | D |
| Had bound the flowers I wore with faithful tie | E |
| Sweet flowers at whose inaudible command | D |
| Her countenance phantom like doth reappear | F |
| O lost too early for the frequent tear | G |
| And ill requited by this heartfelt sigh | E |
