The Prophet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEEFFGHHIJJKLMN OPOQBBRBRS| Longing for spiritual springs | A |
| I dragged myself through desert sands | B |
| An angel with three pairs of wings | A |
| Arrived to me at cross of lands | B |
| With fingers so light and slim | C |
| He touched my eyes as in a dream | D |
| And opened my prophetic eyes | E |
| Like eyes of eagle in surprise | E |
| He touched my ears in movement single | F |
| And they were filled with noise and jingle | F |
| I heard a shuddering of heavens | G |
| And angels' flight on azure heights | H |
| And creatures' crawl in long sea nights | H |
| And rustle of vines in distant valleys | I |
| And he bent down to my chin | J |
| And he tore off my tongue of sin | J |
| In cheat and idle talks aroused | K |
| And with his hand in bloody specks | L |
| He put the sting of wizard snakes | M |
| Into my deadly stoned mouth | N |
| With his sharp sword he cleaved my breast | O |
| And plucked my quivering heart out | P |
| And coals flamed with God's behest | O |
| Into my gaping breast were ground | Q |
| Like dead I lay on desert sands | B |
| And listened to the God's commands | B |
| 'Arise O prophet hark and see | R |
| Be filled with utter My demands | B |
| And going over Land and Sea | R |
| Burn with your Word the humane hearts ' | S |
