The Veil Of Maya Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDEC FGGF HIJH KLLK

SWEET I have loved before I knowA
This longing that invades my daysB
This shape that haunts life's busy waysB
I know since long and long agoA
-
This starry mystery of delightC
That floats across my eager eyesD
This pain that makes earth ParadiseE
These magic songs of day and nightC
-
I know them for the things they areF
A passing pain a longing fleetG
A shape that soon I shall not meetG
A fading dream of veil and starF
-
Yet even as my lips proclaimH
The wisdom that the years have lentI
Your absence is joy's banishmentJ
And life's one music is your nameH
-
I love you to my heart's hid coreK
Those other loves how should one learnL
From marshlights how the great fires burnL
Ah no I never loved beforeK
