Chrysalis. (little Poems In Prose.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A B C D| Long long has the Orient Jew spun around his helplessness the cunningly enmeshed web of Talmud and Kabbala | A |
| - | |
| Imprisoned in dark corners of misery and oppression closely he drew about him the dust gray filaments soft as silk and stubborn as steel until he lay death stiffened in mummied seclusion | B |
| - | |
| And the world has named him an ugly worm shunning the blessed daylight | C |
| - | |
| But when the emancipating springtide breathes wholesome quickening airs when the Sun of Love shines out with cordial fires lo the Soul of Israel bursts her cobweb sheath and flies forth attired in the winged beauty of immortality | D |
