To Poesy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDD EEFFGG HIHJJKLL| These vessels of verse O Great Goddess are filled with invisible tears | A |
| With the sobs and sweat of my spirit and her desolate brooding for years | B |
| See I lay them not on thine altar for they are unpolished and plain | C |
| Not rounded enough by the potter too much burnt in the furnace of pain | C |
| But here in the dust in the shadow with a sudden wild leap of the heart | D |
| I kneel to tenderly kiss them then in silence arise to depart | D |
| - | |
| I linger awhile at the portal with the light of the crimsoning sun | E |
| On my wreathless brow bearing the badges of battles I've fought in not won | E |
| At the sound of the trumpet I've ever been found in thy thin fighting line | F |
| And the weapons I've secretly sharpened have flashed in defence of thy shrine | F |
| I've recked not of failure and losses nor shrunk from the soilure of strife | G |
| For thy magical glamour was on me and art is the moonlight of life | G |
| - | |
| I move from the threshold Great Goddess with steps meditative and slow | H |
| Night steals like a dream to the landscape and slips like a pall | I |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp o'er its glow | H |
| I carry no lamp in my bosom and dwindling in gloom is the track | J |
| No token of man's recognition to prompt me to ever turn back | J |
| I strike eastward to meet the great day dawn with the soul of my soul | K |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp by my side | L |
| My goal though unknown is assured me and the planet of Love is my guide | L |
