The Burning Glass Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG

A shaft of fire that falls like dewA
And melts and maddens all my bloodB
From out thy spirit flashes throughA
The burning glass of womanhoodC
-
Only so far here must I stayD
Nearer I miss the light the fireE
I must endure the torturing rayD
And with all beauty all desireE
-
Ah time long must the effort beF
And far the way that I must goG
To bring my spirit unto theeF
Behind the glass within the glowG

George William Russell
