J. E. B. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFDGFNot all the pageant of the setting sun | A |
Should yield the tired eyes of man delight | B |
No sweet beguiling power had stars at night | B |
To soothe his fainting heart when day is done | A |
Nor any secret voice of benison | A |
Might nature own were not each sound and sight | B |
The sign and symbol of the infinite | C |
The prophecy of things not yet begun | A |
So had these lips so early sealed with sleep | D |
No fruitful word life no power to move | E |
Our deeper reverence did we not see | F |
How more than all he said he was how deep | D |
Below this broken life he ever wove | G |
The finer substance of a life to be | F |
