The Tent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDEED COnly the stars endome the lonely camp | A |
Only the desert leagues encompass it | B |
Waterless wastes a wilderness of wit | B |
Embattled Cold Imagination's Cramp | A |
Now were the Desolation fain to stamp | A |
The congealed Spirit of man into the pit | B |
Save that unquenchable because unlit | B |
The Love of God burns steady like a Lamp | A |
- | |
It burns beyond the sands beyond the stars | C |
It burns beyond the bands beyond the bars | C |
And so the Expanse of Mystery veil by veil | D |
Burns inward plume on plume still folding over | E |
The dissolved heart of the amaz d lover | E |
The angel wings upon the Holy Grail | D |
- | |
W'aint t' Aissha | C |
