I Would I Might Forget That I Am I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEDCDI would I might forget that I am I | A |
And break the heavy chain that binds me fast | B |
Whose links about myself my deeds have cast | B |
What in the body's tomb doth buried lie | A |
Is boundless 't is the spirit of the sky | A |
Lord of the future guardian of the past | B |
And soon must forth to know his own at last | B |
In his large life to live I fain would die | A |
- | |
Happy the dumb beast hungering for food | C |
But calling not his suffering his own | D |
Bless egrave d the angel gazing on all good | E |
But knowing not he sits upon a throne | D |
Wretched the mortal pondering his mood | C |
And doomed to know his aching heart alone | D |
