Illumination Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDEC FGHIFI| Musing upon the mysteries of the flesh | A |
| I am as some hierophant of old | B |
| For whom the temple's hidden valves unfold | B |
| Remembering now your tresses' heavy mesh | A |
| A little harsh beneath my pillowed face | C |
| The savor of your bosom and the scent | D |
| Your warmth a blissful essence immanent | E |
| Flooding my veins in the long unstirred embrace | C |
| - | |
| Your eyes beheld so close their glory seemed | F |
| One strange great orb your laughter's gentle fall | G |
| Remembering these I know the mystical | H |
| Round lotos ripening locked in garths of night | I |
| And sighing of those live fountains that have streamed | F |
| In Edens of a seven sensed delight | I |
