Batalha Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFHIAIA| IN this still cloister where the roses grow | A |
| Waist high between the arches and the well | B |
| You would have walked a thousand years ago | A |
| So faithful who are now so infidel | B |
| You would have fancied your wild heart's emotion | C |
| Over the beauty of a scene like this | D |
| A mystic piety a pure devotion | C |
| And so perhaps it is | E |
| - | |
| Under the shade of column and of tracing | F |
| Here in the dusk where swallows dart and fly | G |
| Barefoot and cowled I think I see you pacing | F |
| Brooding o'er thoughts of subtle mystery | H |
| Fasting and prayer and music and desire | I |
| Weaving a mood that men no longer know | A |
| Oh yes my dear you would have been a friar | I |
| A thousand years ago | A |
