Love's Ritual Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF EGEG| Breathe me the ancient words when I shall find | A |
| Your spirit mine if seeking you life wins | B |
| New wonder with old splendor let us bind | A |
| Our hearts when Love's high sacrament begins | B |
| - | |
| Exalt my soul with pomp and pageantry | C |
| Sing the eternal songs all lovers sing | D |
| Yea when you come gold let our vestments be | C |
| And lamps of silver let us softly swing | D |
| - | |
| But if at last hark how I whisper Love | E |
| You from my temple and from me should turn | F |
| I pray you chant no psalm my grief above | E |
| Over the body of Pain let no light burn | F |
| - | |
| Go forth in silence quiet as a dove | E |
| Drift with no sign from our exultant place | G |
| We need no 'Ite' at the death of Love | E |
| And none should come to look on Love's white face | G |
