When Severn's Sweeping Flood Had Overthrown Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCADEDEDE| When Severn's sweeping flood had overthrown | A |
| St Mary's Church the preacher then would cry | B |
| Thus Christian people God his might hath shown | A |
| That ye to him your love may testify | B |
| Haste and rebuild the pile But not a stone | A |
| Resumed its place Age after age went by | B |
| And Heaven still lacked its due though piety | C |
| In secret did we trust her loss bemoan | A |
| But now her Spirit hath put forth its claim | D |
| In Power and Poesy would lend her voice | E |
| Let the new Church be worthy of its aim | D |
| That in its beauty Cardiff may rejoice | E |
| Oh in the past if cause there was for shame | D |
| Let not our times halt in their better choice | E |
