Connaissance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIDJFKLMNOPQ| Only through the senses have I known you | A |
| But you are nearer than the things of sense | B |
| Nearer than is the daylight in mine eyes | C |
| And nearer | D |
| Than scent of orchard blossoms in the dark | E |
| Or touch of mountain wind or water flowing | F |
| Or long belov d music heard once more | G |
| Among belov d faces | H |
| The sense of you is more than sight or audience | I |
| The thought of you lies deeper | D |
| Than the clear springs of recollection | J |
| The shallow tarns of dreaming | F |
| You flow a stronger blood within my blood | K |
| Poured from a heart whose pulses | L |
| Suffuse the veins of centaurs and of gods | M |
| You are a thought encompassing all other thoughts | N |
| Even as the sea enfolds the kelp and coral | O |
| And the sea flowers arid sea monsters | P |
| And the domes of deep unsunned Atlantis | Q |
