Ernest Hyde Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEAFGHIJKLM| My mind was a mirror | A |
| It saw what it saw it knew what it knew | B |
| In youth my mind was just a mirror | A |
| In a rapidly flying car | C |
| Which catches and loses bits of the landscape | D |
| Then in time | E |
| Great scratches were made on the mirror | A |
| Letting the outside world come in | F |
| And letting my inner self look out | G |
| For this is the birth of the soul in sorrow | H |
| A birth with gains and losses | I |
| The mind sees the world as a thing apart | J |
| And the soul makes the world at one with itself | K |
| A mirror scratched reflects no image | L |
| And this is the silence of wisdom | M |
