The Mystic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADED FAGHGIIJDJ KLMLNBOB FPAQAIIAAA ARARSTKT AKKAKIIAAA| There is a quest that calls me | A |
| In nights when I am lone | B |
| The need to ride where the ways divide | C |
| The Known from the Unknown | B |
| I mount what thought is near me | A |
| And soon I reach the place | D |
| The tenuous rim where the Seen grows dim | E |
| And the Sightless hides its face | D |
| - | |
| I have ridden the wind | F |
| I have ridden the sea | A |
| I have ridden the moon and stars | G |
| I have set my feet in the stirrup seat | H |
| Of a comet coursing Mars | G |
| And everywhere | I |
| Thro' the earth and air | I |
| My thought speeds lightning shod | J |
| It comes to a place where checking pace | D |
| It cries Beyond lies God | J |
| - | |
| It calls me out of the darkness | K |
| It calls me out of sleep | L |
| Ride ride for you must to the end of Dust | M |
| It bids and on I sweep | L |
| To the wide outposts of Being | N |
| Where there is Gulf alone | B |
| And thro' a Vast that was never passed | O |
| I listen for Life's tone | B |
| - | |
| I have ridden the wind | F |
| I have ridden the night | P |
| I have ridden the ghosts that flee | A |
| From the vaults of death like a chilling breath | Q |
| Over eternity | A |
| And everywhere | I |
| Is the world laid bare | I |
| Ether and star and clod | A |
| Until I wind to its brink and find | A |
| But the cry Beyond lies God | A |
| - | |
| It calls me and ever calls me | A |
| And vainly I reply | R |
| Fools only ride where the ways divide | A |
| What Is from the Whence and Why | R |
| I'm lifted into the saddle | S |
| Of thoughts too strong to tame | T |
| And down the deeps and over the steeps | K |
| I find ever the same | T |
| - | |
| I have ridden the wind | A |
| I have ridden the stars | K |
| I have ridden the force that flies | K |
| With far intent thro' the firmament | A |
| And each to each allies | K |
| And everywhere | I |
| That a thought may dare | I |
| To gallop mine has trod | A |
| Only to stand at last on the strand | A |
| Where just beyond lies God | A |
