The Sage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBA BBBBBB| Foreguarded and unfevered and serene | A |
| Back to the perilous gates of Truth he went | B |
| Back to fierce wisdom and the Orient | B |
| To the Dawn that is that shall be and has been | C |
| Previsioned of the madness and the mean | A |
| He stood where Asia crowned with ravishment | B |
| The curtain of Love's inner shrine had rent | B |
| And after had gone scarred by the Unseen | A |
| - | |
| There at his touch there was a treasure chest | B |
| And in it was a gleam but not of gold | B |
| And on it like a flame these words were scrolled | B |
| I keep the mintage of Eternity | B |
| Who comes to take one coin may take the rest | B |
| And all may come but not without the key | B |
