My Cathedral Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Like two cathedral towers these stately pines | A |
| Uplift their fretted summits tipped with cones | B |
| The arch beneath them is not built with stones | B |
| Not Art but Nature traced these lovely lines | A |
| And carved this graceful arabesque of vines | A |
| No organ but the wind here sighs and moans | B |
| No sepulchre conceals a martyr's bones | B |
| No marble bishop on his tomb reclines | A |
| Enter the pavement carpeted with leaves | C |
| Gives back a softened echo to thy tread | D |
| Listen the choir is singing all the birds | E |
| In leafy galleries beneath the eaves | C |
| Are singing listen ere the sound be fled | D |
| And learn there may be worship with out words | E |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
