Stanzas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJKLKL| Thought is an unseen net wherein our mind | A |
| Is taken and vainly struggles to be free | B |
| Words that should loose our spirit do but bind | A |
| New fetters on our hoped for liberty | B |
| And action bears us onward like a stream | C |
| Past fabulous shores scarce seen in our swift course | D |
| Glorious and yet its headlong currents seem | C |
| Backwaters of some nobler purer force | D |
| - | |
| There are slow curves more subtle far than thought | E |
| That stoop to carry the grace of a girl's breast | F |
| And hanging flowers so exquisitely wrought | E |
| In airy metal that they seem possessed | F |
| Of souls and there are distant hills that lift | G |
| The shoulder of a goddess towards the light | H |
| And arrowy trees sudden and sharp and swift | G |
| Piercing the spirit deeply with delight | H |
| - | |
| Would I might make these miracles my own | I |
| Like a pure angel thinking colour and form | J |
| Hardening to rage in a flame of chiselled stone | I |
| Spilling my love like sunlight golden and warm | J |
| On noonday flowers speaking the song of birds | K |
| Among the branches whispering the fall of rain | L |
| Beyond all thought past action and past words | K |
| I would live in beauty free from self and pain | L |
