Thekla - A Spirit Voice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BCBD EFEF GHGH AIAI EFEF| Whither was it that my spirit wended | A |
| When from thee my fleeting shadow moved | A |
| Is not now each earthly conflict ended | A |
| Say have I not lived have I not loved | A |
| - | |
| Art thou for the nightingales inquiring | B |
| Who entranced thee in the early year | C |
| With their melody so joy inspiring | B |
| Only whilst they loved they lingered here | D |
| - | |
| Is the lost one lost to me forever | E |
| Trust me with him joyfully I stray | F |
| There where naught united souls can sever | E |
| And where every tear is wiped away | F |
| - | |
| And thou too wilt find us in yon heaven | G |
| When thy love with our love can compare | H |
| There my father dwells his sins forgiven | G |
| Murder foul can never reach him there | H |
| - | |
| And he feels that him no vision cheated | A |
| When he gazed upon the stars on high | I |
| For as each one metes to him 'tis meted | A |
| Who believes it hath the Holy nigh | I |
| - | |
| Faith is kept in those blest regions yonder | E |
| With the feelings true that ne'er decay | F |
| Venture thou to dream then and to wander | E |
| Noblest thoughts oft lie in childlike play | F |
