When I Have Gone Weird Ways Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABB CCCDD EEEFF GHHII BBBJJ| When I have finished with this episode | A |
| Left the hard uphill road | A |
| And gone weird ways to seek another load | A |
| Oh friends regret me not nor weep for me | B |
| Child of Infinity | B |
| - | |
| Nor dig a grave nor rear for me a tomb | C |
| To say with lying writ Here in the gloom | C |
| He who loved bigness takes a narrow room | C |
| Content to pillow here his weary head | D |
| For he is dead | D |
| - | |
| But give my body to the funeral pyre | E |
| And bid the laughing fire | E |
| Eager and strong and swift like my desire | E |
| Scatter my subtle essence into space | F |
| Free me of time and place | F |
| - | |
| And sweep the bitter ashes from the hearth | G |
| Fling back the dust I borrowed from the earth | H |
| Into the chemic broil of death and birth | H |
| The vast alembic of the cryptic scheme | I |
| Warm with the master dream | I |
| - | |
| And thus O little house that sheltered me | B |
| Dissolve again in wind and rain to be | B |
| Part of the cosmic weird economy | B |
| And Oh how oft with new life shalt thou lift | J |
| Out of the atom drift | J |
