Ortus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCADEF AGAHIJKF| How have I laboured | A |
| How have I not laboured | A |
| To bring her soul to birth | B |
| To give these elements a name and a centre | C |
| She is beautiful as the sunlight and as fluid | A |
| She has no name and no place | D |
| How have I laboured to bring her soul into separation | E |
| To give her a name and her being | F |

| Surely you are bound and entwined | A |
| You are mingled with the elements unborn | G |
| I have loved a stream and a shadow | A |
| I beseech you enter your life | H |
| I beseech you learn to say I | I |
| When I question you | J |
| For you are no part but a whole | K |
| No portion but a being | F |
