Tu Ne Quaesieris Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHIJJFF KKLLMMNOPP| For all the lore of Lodge and Myers | A |
| I cannot heal my torn desires | A |
| Nor hope for all that man can speer | B |
| To make the riddling earth grow clear | B |
| Though it were sure and proven well | C |
| That I shall prosper as they tell | C |
| In fields beneath a different sun | D |
| By shores where other oceans run | D |
| When this live body that was I | E |
| Lies hidden from the cheerful sky | E |
| Yet what were endless lives to me | F |
| If still my narrow self I be | F |
| And hope and fail and struggle still | G |
| And break my will against God's will | G |
| To play for stakes of pleasure and pain | H |
| And hope and fail and hope again | I |
| Deluded thwarted striving elf | J |
| That through the window of my self | J |
| As through a dark glass scarce can see | F |
| A warped and masked reality | F |
| But when this searching thought of mine | K |
| Is mingled in the large Divine | K |
| And laughter that was in my mouth | L |
| Runs through the breezes of the South | L |
| When glory I have built in dreams | M |
| Along some fiery sunset gleams | M |
| And my dead sin and foolishness | N |
| Grow one with Nature's whole distress | O |
| To perfect being I shall win | P |
| And where I end will Life begin | P |
