The Convert Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAAAA CDCDDE| After one moment when I bowed my head | A |
| And the whole world turned over and came upright | B |
| And I came out where the old road shone white | B |
| I walked the ways and heard what all men said | A |
| Forests of tongues like autumn leaves unshed | A |
| Being not unlovable but strange and light | A |
| Old riddles and new creeds not in despite | A |
| But softly as men smile about the dead | A |
| - | |
| The sages have a hundred maps to give | C |
| That trace their crawling cosmos like a tree | D |
| They rattle reason out through many a sieve | C |
| That stores the sand and lets the gold go free | D |
| And all these things are less than dust to me | D |
| Because my name is Lazarus and I live | E |
