The New Ezekiel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGFHIJIWhat can these dead bones live whose sap is dried | A |
By twenty scorching centuries of wrong | B |
Is this the House of Israel whose pride | A |
Is as a tale that's told an ancient song | B |
Are these ignoble relics all that live | C |
Of psalmist priest and prophet Can the breath | D |
Of very heaven bid these Bones revive | C |
Open the graves and clothe the ribs of death | D |
- | |
Yea Prophesy the Lord hath said Again | E |
Say to the wind Come forth and breathe afresh | F |
Even that they may live upon these slain | G |
And bone to bone shall leap and flesh to flesh | F |
The Spirit is not dead proclaim the word | H |
Where lay dead bones a host of armed men stand | I |
I ope your graves my people saith the Lord | J |
And I shall place you living in your land | I |
