A Vision Of Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFEEGGHHII JJKKFFDDLLBB| Where we sat at dawn together while the star rich heavens shifted | A |
| We were weaving dreams in silence suddenly the veil was lifted | A |
| By a hand of fire awakened in a moment caught and led | B |
| Upward to the wondrous vision through the star mists overhead | B |
| Flare and flaunt the monstrous highlands on the sapphire coast of night | C |
| Fall the ghostly froth and fringes of the ocean of the light | C |
| Many coloured shine the vapours to the moon eye far away | D |
| 'Tis the fairy ring of twilight mid the spheres of night and day | D |
| Girdling with a rainbow cincture round the planet where we go | E |
| We and it together fleeting poised upon the pearl glow | E |
| We and it and all together flashing through the starry spaces | F |
| In a tempest dream of beauty lighting up the place of places | F |
| Half our eyes behold the glory half within the spirit's glow | E |
| Echoes of the noiseless revels and the will of beauty go | E |
| By a hand of fire uplifted to her star strewn palace brought | G |
| To the mystic heart of beauty and the secret of her thought | G |
| Here of yore the ancient mother in the fire mists sank to rest | H |
| And she built her dreams about her rayed from out her burning breast | H |
| Here the wild will woke within her lighting up her flying dreams | I |
| Round and round the planets whirling break in woods and flowers and streams | I |
| And the winds are shaken from them as the leaves from off the rose | J |
| And the feet of earth go dancing in the way that beauty goes | J |
| And the souls of earth are kindled by the incense of her breath | K |
| As her light alternate lures them through the gates of birth and death | K |
| O'er the fields of space together following her flying traces | F |
| In a radiant tumult thronging suns and stars and myriad races | F |
| Mount the spirit spires of beauty reaching onward to the day | D |
| When the Shepherd of the Ages draws his misty hordes away | D |
| Through the glimmering deeps to silence and within the awful fold | L |
| Life and joy and love forever vanish as a tale is told | L |
| Lost within the mother's being So the vision flamed and fled | B |
| And before the glory fallen every other dream lay dead | B |
