A Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBFGHGIGJKLKMKNO PQROMANASATIUIVILADY in thy proud eyes | A |
There is a weary look | B |
As if the spirit we know through them | C |
Were daunted with rebuke | D |
To think that the heart of man henceforth | E |
Is read like a read book | B |
Lady in thy lifted face | F |
The solitude is sore | G |
The true solitude follows the crowd | H |
Will it be less or more | G |
When the words have been spoken to thee | I |
Which my heart is seeking for | G |
Lady canst thou not guess | J |
The words which my thoughts seek | K |
Perhaps thou deem'st them well to spurn | L |
And better not to speak | K |
Oh thou must know my love is strong | M |
Hearing my voice so weak | K |
Lady ah go not thus | N |
Lady give ear again | O |
Lady oh learn from me that yet | P |
There may one thing remain | Q |
Which stands not in the knowledge thou hast | R |
And in thy lore of men | O |
Lady the darkness lasteth long | M |
Ere the dawn touch the skies | A |
Many are the leagues of wilderness | N |
Till ye come where the green lies | A |
Nay often betwixt doubt and doubt | S |
Death whispers and makes wise | A |
Lady has not my thought | T |
Dared much For I would be | I |
The ending of darkness and the dawn | U |
Of a new day to thee | I |
And thine oasis and thy place of rest | V |
And thy time of peace lady | I |
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
