The Confirmation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABCDEEFGGHFH| Yes yours my love is the right human face | A |
| I in my mind had waited for this long | B |
| Seeing the false and searching for the true | C |
| Then found you as a traveller finds a place | A |
| Of welcome suddenly amid the wrong | B |
| Valleys and rocks and twisting roads But you | C |
| What shall I call you A fountain in a waste | D |
| A well of water in a country dry | E |
| Or anything that's honest and good an eye | E |
| That makes the whole world seem bright Your open heart | F |
| Simple with giving gives the primal deed | G |
| The first good world the blossom the blowing seed | G |
| The hearth the steadfast land the wandering sea | H |
| Not beautiful or rare in every part | F |
| But like yourself as they were meant to be | H |
