The Nameless Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DDD EEEUnnumbered gods may unremembered die | A |
A thousand creeds may perish and pass by | A |
Yet do I lift mine eyes to ONE on high | A |

Unnamed be HE from whom creation came | B |
There is no word whereby to speak His name | B |
But petty men have mouthed it into shame | B |

I lift mine eyes and with a river's force | C |
My love's full tide goes sweeping on its course | C |
To that supreme and all embracing Source | C |

Then back through all those thirsting channels roll | D |
The mighty billows of the Over Soul | D |
And I am He the portion and the Whole | D |

As little streams before the flood tide flee | E |
As rivers vanish to become the sea | E |
The I exists no more for I AM HE | E |
