Jonathan Swift Somers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIAJAKLM| After you have enriched your soul | A |
| To the highest point | B |
| With books thought suffering the understanding of many personalities | C |
| The power to interpret glances silences | D |
| The pauses in momentous transformations | E |
| The genius of divination and prophecy | F |
| So that you feel able at times to hold the world | G |
| In the hollow of your hand | H |
| Then if by the crowding of so many powers | I |
| Into the compass of your soul | A |
| Your soul takes fire | J |
| And in the conflagration of your soul | A |
| The evil of the world is lighted up and made clear | K |
| Be thankful if in that hour of supreme vision | L |
| Life does not fiddle | M |
