The Secret Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG FBFB HIHI JKLK M

One thing in all things have I seenA
One thought has haunted earth and airB
Clangour and silence both have beenC
Its palace chambers EverywhereB
-
I saw the mystic vision flowD
And live in men and woods and streamsE
Until I could no longer knowD
The dream of life from my own dreamsE
-
Sometimes it rose like fire in meF
Within the depths of my own mindG
And spreading to infinityF
It took the voices of the windG
-
It scrawled the human mysteryF
Dim heraldry on light and airB
Wavering along the starry seaF
I saw the flying vision thereB
-
Each fire that in God's temple litH
Burns fierce before the inner shrineI
Dimmed as my fire grew near to itH
And darkened at the light of mineI
-
At last at last the meaning caughtJ
When spirit wears its diademK
It shakes its wondrous plumes of thoughtL
And trails the stars along with themK
