The Three Silences Of Molinos Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCADEDEDE| Three Silences there are the first of speech | A |
| The second of desire the third of thought | B |
| This is the lore a Spanish monk distraught | B |
| With dreams and visions was the first to teach | A |
| These Silences commingling each with each | A |
| Made up the perfect Silence that he sought | B |
| And prayed for and wherein at times he caught | C |
| Mysterious sounds from realms beyond our reach | A |
| O thou whose daily life anticipates | D |
| The life to come and in whose thought and word | E |
| The spiritual world preponderates | D |
| Hermit of Amesbury thou too hast heard | E |
| Voices and melodies from beyond the gates | D |
| And speakest only when thy soul is stirred | E |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
