Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xxiii - Confirmation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACADEDFEF| The Young ones gathered in from hill and dale | A |
| With holiday delight on every brow | B |
| 'Tis passed away far other thoughts prevail | A |
| For they are taking the baptismal Vow | B |
| Upon their conscious selves their own lips speak | C |
| The solemn promise Strongest sinews fail | A |
| And many a blooming many a lovely cheek | C |
| Under the holy fear of God turns pale | A |
| While on each head his lawn robed Servant lays | D |
| An apostolic hand and with prayer seals | E |
| The Covenant The Omnipotent will raise | D |
| Their feeble Souls and bear with 'his' regrets | F |
| Who looking round the fair assemblage feels | E |
| That ere the Sun goes down their childhood sets | F |
