In The Beginning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBD EFEGHI EJEKLM NOPQRQ STDUOV| In the beginning was the three pointed star | A |
| One smile of light across the empty face | B |
| One bough of bone across the rooting air | C |
| The substance forked that marrowed the first sun | D |
| And burning ciphers on the round of space | B |
| Heaven and hell mixed as they spun | D |
| - | |
| In the beginning was the pale signature | E |
| Three syllabled and starry as the smile | F |
| And after came the imprints on the water | E |
| Stamp of the minted face upon the moon | G |
| The blood that touched the crosstree and the grail | H |
| Touched the first cloud and left a sign | I |
| - | |
| In the beginning was the mounting fire | E |
| That set alight the weathers from a spark | J |
| A three eyed red eyed spark blunt as a flower | E |
| Life rose and spouted from the rolling seas | K |
| Burst in the roots pumped from the earth and rock | L |
| The secret oils that drive the grass | M |
| - | |
| In the beginning was the word the word | N |
| That from the solid bases of the light | O |
| Abstracted all the letters of the void | P |
| And from the cloudy bases of the breath | Q |
| The word flowed up translating to the heart | R |
| First characters of birth and death | Q |
| - | |
| In the beginning was the secret brain | S |
| The brain was celled and soldered in the thought | T |
| Before the pitch was forking to a sun | D |
| Before the veins were shaking in their sieve | U |
| Blood shot and scattered to the winds of light | O |
| The ribbed original of love | V |
