Ecclesiastical Sonnets - Part Iii. - Xxxvi - Emigrant French Clergy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABABAAA| Even while I speak the sacred roofs of France | A |
| Are shattered into dust and self exiled | B |
| From altars threatened leveled or defiled | B |
| Wander the Ministers of God as chance | A |
| Opens a way for life or consonance | A |
| Of faith invites More welcome to no land | B |
| The fugitives than to the British strand | B |
| Where priest and layman with the vigilance | A |
| Of true compassion greet them Creed and test | B |
| Vanish before the unreserved embrace | A |
| Of catholic humanity distrest | B |
| They came and while the moral tempest roars | A |
| Throughout the Country they have left our shores | A |
| Give to their Faith a fearless resting place | A |
