Heart's Compass Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBA DEEDDE| Sometimes thou seem'st not as thyself alone | A |
| But as the meaning of all things that are | B |
| A breathless wonder shadowing forth afar | B |
| Some heavenly solstice hushed and halcyon | C |
| Whose unstirred lips are music's visible tone | A |
| Whose eyes the sun gate of the soul unbar | B |
| Being of its furthest fires oracular | B |
| The evident heart of all life sown and mown | A |
| - | |
| Even such Love is and is not thy name Love | D |
| Yea by thy hand the Love god rends apart | E |
| All gathering clouds of Night's ambiguous art | E |
| Flings them far down and sets thine eyes above | D |
| And simply as some gage of flower or glove | D |
| Stakes with a smile the world against thy heart | E |
