Thoughts During Sickness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCCBBDBDBBO THOUGHT O Memory gems for ever heaping | A |
High in the illumined chambers of the mind | B |
And thou divine Imagination keeping | A |
Thy lamp's lone star 'mid shadowy hosts enshrined | B |
How in one moment rent and disentwined | B |
At Fever's fiery touch apart they fall | C |
Your glorious combinations broken all | C |
As the sand pillars by the desert's wind | B |
Scatter'd to whirling dust Oh soon uncrown'd | B |
Well may your parting swift your strange return | D |
Subdue the soul to lowliness profound | B |
Guiding its chasten'd vision to discern | D |
How by meek Faith Heaven's portals must be pass'd | B |
Ere it can hold your gifts inalienably fast | B |
