The Rose And The Cross Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEFF| Out of the seething cauldron of my woes | A |
| Where sweets and salt and bitterness I flung | B |
| Where charmed music gathered from my tongue | B |
| And where I chained strange archipelagoes | A |
| Of fallen stars where fiery passion flows | A |
| A curious bitumen where among | B |
| The glowing medley moved the tune unsung | B |
| Of perfect love thence grew the Mystic Rose | A |
| - | |
| Its myriad petals of divided light | C |
| Its leaves of the most radiant emerald | D |
| Its heart of fire like rubies At the sight | C |
| I lifted up my heart to God and called | E |
| How shall I pluck this dream of my desire | F |
| And lo there shaped itself the Cross of Fire | F |
