The Prophet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEEFFGHHIJJKLMN OPOQBBRBRSLonging 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 |
