Rosa Mystica Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA BBCDDC| The secret rose we vainly dream to find | A |
| Was blown in grey Atlantis long ago | B |
| Or in old summers of the realms of snow | B |
| Its attar lulled the pole arisen wind | A |
| Or once its broad and breathless petals pined | A |
| In gardens of Persepolis aglow | B |
| With fiery sworded sunlight and the slow | B |
| Red waves of sand invincible and blind | A |
| - | |
| On orient isles or isles hesperian | B |
| Through mystic days ere mortal time began | B |
| It flowered above the ever flowering foam | C |
| Or legendless in lands of yesteryear | D |
| It flamed among the violets near how near | D |
| To unenchanted fields and hills of home | C |
