Chorus Of Eden Spirits Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEEEFGHGIAIAIAIA JEJEAEAEKEKEEEEEIAIA| HEARKEN oh hearken let your souls behind you | A |
| Turn gently moved | B |
| Our voices feel along the Dread to find you | A |
| O lost beloved | C |
| Through the thick shielded and strong marshalled angels | D |
| They press and pierce | E |
| Our requiems follow fast on our evangels | E |
| Voice throbs in verse | E |
| We are but orphaned spirits left in Eden | F |
| A time ago | G |
| God gave us golden cups and we were bidden | H |
| To feed you so | G |
| But now our right hand hath no cup remaining | I |
| No work to do | A |
| The mystic hydromel is spilt and staining | I |
| The whole earth through | A |
| Most ineradicable stains for showing | I |
| Not interfused | A |
| That brighter colours were the world s foregoing | I |
| Than shall be used | A |
| Hearken oh hearken ye shall hearken surely | J |
| For years and years | E |
| The noise beside you dripping coldly purely | J |
| Of spirits tears | E |
| The yearning to a beautiful denied you | A |
| Shall strain your powers | E |
| Ideal sweetnesses shall over glide you | A |
| Resumed from ours | E |
| In all your music our pathetic minor | K |
| Your ears shall cross | E |
| And all good gifts shall mind you of diviner | K |
| With sense of loss | E |
| We shall be near you in your poet languors | E |
| And wild extremes | E |
| What time ye vex the desert with vain angers | E |
| Or mock with dreams | E |
| And when upon you weary after roaming | I |
| Death s seal is put | A |
| By the foregone ye shall discern the coming | I |
| Through eyelids shut | A |
