Prelude: By Still Waters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGCHIIJJII| Oh be not led away | A |
| Lured by the colour of the sun rich day | A |
| The gay romance of song | B |
| Unto the spirit life doth not belong | B |
| Though far between the hours | C |
| In which the Master of Angelic powers | C |
| Lightens the dusk within | D |
| The holy of holies be it thine to win | D |
| Rare vistas of white light | E |
| Half parted lips through which the Infinite | F |
| Murmurs her ancient story | G |
| Harkening to whom the wandering planets hoary | G |
| Waken primeval fires | C |
| With deeper rapture in celestial choirs | H |
| Breathe and with fleeter motion | I |
| Wheel in their orbits through the surgeless ocean | I |
| So hearken thou like these | J |
| Intent on her mounting by slow degrees | J |
| Until thy song's elation | I |
| Echoes her multitudinous meditation | I |
George William Russell
