Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xxxi - Funeral Service Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDAEFGEFH| From the Baptismal hour thro' weal and woe | A |
| The Church extends her care to thought and deed | B |
| Nor quits the Body when the Soul is freed | B |
| The mortal weight cast off to be laid low | A |
| Blest Rite for him who hears in faith I know | A |
| That my Redeemer liveth hears each word | C |
| That follows striking on some kindred chord | D |
| Deep in the thankful heart yet tears will flow | A |
| Man is as grass that springeth up at morn | E |
| Grows green and is cut down and withereth | F |
| Ere nightfall truth that well may claim a sigh | G |
| Its natural echo but hope comes reborn | E |
| At Jesu's bidding We rejoice O Death | F |
| Where is thy Sting O Grave where is thy Victory | H |
William Wordsworth
