Historion Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ KLMNOJPQ| No man hath dared to write this thing as yet | A |
| And yet I know how that the souls of all men great | B |
| At times pass athrough us | C |
| And we are melted into them and are not | D |
| Save reflexions of their souls | E |
| Thus am I Dante for a space and am | F |
| One Francois Villon ballad lord and thief | G |
| Or am such holy ones I may not write | H |
| Lest blasphemy be writ against my name | I |
| This for an instant and the flame is gone | J |
| - | |
| 'Tis as in midmost us there glows a sphere | K |
| Translucent molten gold that is the I | L |
| And into this some form projects itself | M |
| Christus or John or eke the Florentine | N |
| And as the clear space is not if a form's | O |
| Imposed thereon | J |
| So cease we from all being for the time | P |
| And these the Masters of the Soul live on | Q |
