The Inner Silence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABABCCDAE FGFGHHIJJI| Noises that strive to tear | A |
| Earth's mantle soft of air | A |
| And break upon the stillness where it dwells | B |
| The noise of battle and the noise of prayer | A |
| The cooing noise of love that softly tells | B |
| Joy's brevity the brazen noise of laughter | C |
| All these affront me not nor echo after | C |
| Through the long memories | D |
| They may not enter the deep chamber where | A |
| Forever silence is | E |
| - | |
| Silence more soft than spring hides in the ground | F |
| Beneath her budding flowers | G |
| Silence more rich than ever was the sound | F |
| Of harps through long warm hours | G |
| 'Tis like a hidden vastness even as though | H |
| Great suns might there beat out their measures slow | H |
| Nor break the hush mightier than they | I |
| There do I dwell eternally | J |
| There where no thought may follow me | J |
| Nor stillest dreams whose pinions plume the way | I |
