The New God Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EEEE FEGEHIE FEEEEJEKEL EMINEO| Ye morning glories ring in the gale your bells | A |
| And with dew water the walk's dust for the burden bearing ants | B |
| Ye swinging spears of the larkspur open your wells of gold | C |
| And pay your honey tax to the hummingbird | D |
| - | |
| O now I see by the opening of blossoms | E |
| And of bills of the hungry fledglings | E |
| And the bright travel of sun drunk insects | E |
| Morning's business is afoot Earth is busied with a million mouths | E |
| - | |
| Where goes eaten grass and thrush snapped dragonfly | F |
| Creation eats itself to spawn in swarming sun rays | E |
| Bull and cricket go to it life lives on life | G |
| But O ye flame daubed irises and ye hosts of gnats | E |
| Like a well of light moving in morning's light | H |
| What is this garmented animal that comes eating and drinking among you | I |
| What is this upright one with spade and with shears | E |
| - | |
| He is the visible and the invisible | F |
| Behind his mouth and his eyes are other mouth and eyes | E |
| Thirster after visions | E |
| He sees the flowers to their roots and the Earth back through its silent ages | E |
| He parts the sky with his gaze | E |
| He flings a magic on the hills clothing them with Upanishad music | J |
| Peopling the valley with dreamed images that vanished in Greece | E |
| millenniums back | K |
| And in the actual morning out of longing shapes on the hills | E |
| To morrow's golden grandeur | L |
| - | |
| O ye million hungerers and ye sun rays | E |
| Ye are the many mothers of this invisible god | M |
| This Earth's star and sun that rises singing and toiling among you | I |
| This that is I in joy in the garden | N |
| Singing to you ye morning glories | E |
| Calling to you ye swinging spears of the larkspur | O |
