I Know My Soul Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEDEFE| I plucked my soul out of its secret place | A |
| And held it to the mirror of my eye | B |
| To see it like a star against the sky | B |
| A twitching body quivering in space | A |
| A spark of passion shining on my face | A |
| And I explored it to determine why | B |
| This awful key to my infinity | C |
| Conspires to rob me of sweet joy and grace | A |
| And if the sign may not be fully read | D |
| If I can comprehend but not control | E |
| I need not gloom my days with futile dread | D |
| Because I see a part and not the whole | E |
| Contemplating the strange I'm comforted | F |
| By this narcotic thought I know my soul | E |
