To -- (iii) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEBABBFBBAFAGBHIJ GABBKLH| Not long ago the writer of these lines | A |
| In the mad pride of intellectuality | B |
| Maintained the power of words denied that ever | C |
| A thought arose within the human brain | D |
| Beyond the utterance of the human tongue | E |
| And now as if in mockery of that boast | B |
| Two words two foreign soft dissyllables | A |
| Italian tones made only to be murmured | B |
| By angels dreaming in the moonlit dew | B |
| That hangs like chains of pearl on Hermon hill | F |
| Have stirred from out the abysses of his heart | B |
| Unthought like thoughts that are the souls of thought | B |
| Richer far wilder far diviner visions | A |
| Than even seraph harper Israfel | F |
| Who has the sweetest voice of all God's creatures | A |
| Could hope to utter And I my spells are broken | G |
| The pen falls powerless from my shivering hand | B |
| With thy dear name as text though bidden by thee | H |
| I cannot write I cannot speak or think | I |
| Alas I cannot feel for 'tis not feeling | J |
| This standing motionless upon the golden | G |
| Threshold of the wide open gate of dreams | A |
| Gazing entranced adown the gorgeous vista | B |
| And thrilling as I see upon the right | B |
| Upon the left and all the way along | K |
| Amid empurpled vapors far away | L |
| To where the prospect terminates thee only | H |
