The Soul's Expression Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBBBBBCDCDCD| WITH stammering lips and insufficient sound | A |
| I strive and struggle to deliver right | B |
| That music of my nature day and night | B |
| With dream and thought and feeling interwound | B |
| And inly answering all the senses round | B |
| With octaves of a mystic depth and height | B |
| Which step out grandly to the infinite | B |
| From the dark edges of the sensual ground | B |
| This song of soul I struggle to outbear | C |
| Through portals of the sense sublime and whole | D |
| And utter all myself into the air | C |
| But if I did it as the thunder roll | D |
| Breaks its own cloud my flesh would perish there | C |
| Before that dread apocalypse of soul | D |
