Triple Aspect Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GCCG HIIH HJJH| Lo for Earth's manifest monotony | A |
| Of ordered aspect unto sun and star | B |
| And single moon I turn to years afar | B |
| And ampler worlds ensphered in memory | A |
| - | |
| There to the zoned and iris varying light | C |
| Of three swift suns in heavens of vaster range | D |
| Transcendent beauty knows a trinal change | D |
| And dawn and eve are in the place of night | C |
| - | |
| There long ago in mornings ocean green | E |
| I saw vast deserts verdant with the sky | F |
| Or under yellow moons wide waters lie | F |
| Like molten bronze that boiled with fires unseen | E |
| - | |
| Strange flowers that bloom but to an azure sun | G |
| I saw and all complexities of light | C |
| That work fantastic magic on the sight | C |
| Wrought unimagined marvels one by one | G |
| - | |
| There swifter shadows suffer gorgeous dooms | H |
| Lost in an orange noon an azure morn | I |
| At twofold eve large winged lights are born | I |
| Towering to meet the dawn or briefest glooms | H |
| - | |
| Of chrysoberyl filled with alien stars | H |
| Draw from an emerald east to skies of gold | J |
| Toward jasper waters leaning to behold | J |
| Vague moons are lost amid great nenuphars | H |
