The Holy Of Holies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DDEF EECE GGDG

Elder father though thine eyesA
Shine with hoary mysteriesB
Canst thou tell what in the heartC
Of a cowslip blossom liesA
-
Smaller than all lives that beD
Secret as the deepest seaD
Stands a little house of seedsE
Like an elfin s granaryF
-
Speller of the stones and weedsE
Skilled in Nature s crafts and creedsE
Tell me what is in the heartC
Of the smallest of the seedsE
-
God Almighty and with HimG
Cherubim and SeraphimG
Filling all eternityD
Adonai ElohimG
