J. E. B. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEFDGF

Not all the pageant of the setting sunA
Should yield the tired eyes of man delightB
No sweet beguiling power had stars at nightB
To soothe his fainting heart when day is doneA
Nor any secret voice of benisonA
Might nature own were not each sound and sightB
The sign and symbol of the infiniteC
The prophecy of things not yet begunA
So had these lips so early sealed with sleepD
No fruitful word life no power to moveE
Our deeper reverence did we not seeF
How more than all he said he was how deepD
Below this broken life he ever woveG
The finer substance of a life to beF
