Souls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH| My Soul goes clad in gorgeous things | A |
| Scarlet and gold and blue | B |
| And at her shoulder sudden wings | A |
| Like long flames flicker through | B |
| - | |
| And she is swallow fleet and free | C |
| From mortal bonds and bars | D |
| She laughs because Eternity | C |
| Blossoms for her with stars | D |
| - | |
| O folk who scorn my stiff gray gown | E |
| My dull and foolish face | F |
| Can ye not see my Soul flash down | E |
| A singing flame through space | F |
| - | |
| And folk whose earth stained looks I hate | G |
| Why may I not divine | H |
| Your Souls that must be passionate | I |
| Shining and swift as mine | H |
