Faith Matheny Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHICJKLMNNMJO| At first you will know not what they mean | A |
| And you may never know | B |
| And we may never tell you | C |
| These sudden flashes in your soul | D |
| Like lambent lightning on snowy clouds | E |
| At midnight when the moon is full | F |
| They come in solitude or perhaps | G |
| You sit with your friend and all at once | H |
| A silence falls on speech and his eyes | I |
| Without a flicker glow at you | C |
| You two have seen the secret together | J |
| He sees it in you and you in him | K |
| And there you sit thrilling lest the Mystery | L |
| Stand before you and strike you dead | M |
| With a splendor like the sun's | N |
| Be brave all souls who have such visions | N |
| As your body's alive as mine is dead | M |
| You're catching a little whiff of the ether | J |
| Reserved for God Himself | O |
