A Roundel Of Rabelais Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABABAB| Theleme is afar on the waters adrift and afar | A |
| Afar and afloat on the waters that flicker and gleam | B |
| And we feel but her fragrance and see but the shadows that mar | A |
| Theleme | B |
| In the sun coloured mists of the sunrise and sunset that steam | B |
| As incense from urns of the twilight her portals ajar | A |
| Let pass as a shadow the light of the sound of a dream | B |
| But the laughter that rings from her cloisters that know not a bar | A |
| So kindles delight in desire that the souls in us deem | B |
| He erred not the seer who discerned on the seas as a star | A |
| Theleme | B |
