Doors Of The Temple Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBDEDEFGGFG| Many are the doors of the spirit that lead | A |
| Into the inmost shrine | B |
| And I count the gates of the temple divine | B |
| Since the god of the place is God indeed | C |
| And these are the gates that God decreed | C |
| Should lead to his house kisses and wine | B |
| Cool depths of thought youth without rest | D |
| And calm old age prayer and desire | E |
| The lover's and mother's breast | D |
| The fire of sense and the poet's fire | E |
| But he that worships the gates alone | F |
| Forgetting the shrine beyond shall see | G |
| The great valves open suddenly | G |
| Revealing not God's radiant throne | F |
| But the fires of wrath and agony | G |
