The Spirit Of Shakespeare Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEDEDAA| Thy greatest knew thee Mother Earth unsoured | A |
| He knew thy sons He probed from hell to hell | B |
| Of human passions but of love deflowered | A |
| His wisdom was not for he knew thee well | B |
| Thence came the honeyed corner at his lips | C |
| The conquering smile wherein his spirit sails | D |
| Calm as the God who the white sea wave whips | C |
| Yet full of speech and intershifting tales | D |
| Close mirrors of us thence had he the laugh | E |
| We feel is thine broad as ten thousand beeves | D |
| At pasture thence thy songs that winnow chaff | E |
| From grain bid sick Philosophy's last leaves | D |
| Whirl if they have no response they enforced | A |
| To fatten Earth when from her soul divorced | A |
