On The Marriage Of A Virgin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEF GHIHJKL| Waking alone in a multitude of loves when morning's light | A |
| Surprised in the opening of her nightlong eyes | B |
| His golden yesterday asleep upon the iris | C |
| And this day's sun leapt up the sky out of her thighs | B |
| Was miraculous virginity old as loaves and fishes | D |
| Though the moment of a miracle is unending lightning | E |
| And the shipyards of Galilee's footprints hide a navy of doves | F |
| - | |
| No longer will the vibrations of the sun desire on | G |
| Her deepsea pillow where once she married alone | H |
| Her heart all ears and eyes lips catching the avalanche | I |
| Of the golden ghost who ringed with his streams her mercury bone | H |
| Who under the lids of her windows hoisted his golden luggage | J |
| For a man sleeps where fire leapt down and she learns through his arm | K |
| That other sun the jealous coursing of the unrivalled blood | L |
