Opals Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGAA| My soul is like this cloudy flaming opal ring | A |
| The fields of earth are in it green and glimmering | A |
| The waves of the blue sky night's purple flower of noon | B |
| The vanishing cold scintillations of the moon | B |
| And the red heart that is a flame within a flame | C |
| And as the opal dies and is re born the same | C |
| And all the fire that is its life blood seems to dart | D |
| Through the veined variable intricacies of its heart | D |
| And ever wandering ever wanders back again | E |
| So must my swift soul constant to itself remain | F |
| Opal have I not been as variable as you | G |
| But cloudy opal flaming green and red and blue | G |
| Are you not ever constant in your varying | A |
| Even as my soul O captive opal of my ring | A |
