In Due Observance Of An Ancient Rite Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADEAFGFGHH| IN due observance of an ancient rite | A |
| The rude Biscayans when their children lie | B |
| Dead in the sinless time of infancy | C |
| Attire the peaceful corse in vestments white | A |
| And in like sign of cloudless triumph bright | A |
| They bind the unoffending creature's brows | D |
| With happy garlands of the pure white rose | E |
| Then do a festal company unite | A |
| In choral song and while the uplifted cross | F |
| Of Jesus goes before the child is borne | G |
| Uncovered to his grave 'tis closed her loss | F |
| The Mother 'then' mourns as she needs must mourn | G |
| But soon through Christian faith is grief subdued | H |
| And joy returns to brighten fortitude | H |
