Simplicity Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGCHIJKLHLFMFN| It opens the gate to the garden | A |
| with the docility of a page | B |
| that frequent devotion questions | C |
| and inside my gaze | D |
| has no need to fix on objects | E |
| that already exist exact in memory | F |
| I know the customs and souls | G |
| and that dialect of allusions | C |
| that every human gathering goes weaving | H |
| I've no need to speak | I |
| nor claim false privilege | J |
| they know me well who surround me here | K |
| know well my afflictions and weakness | L |
| This is to reach the highest thing | H |
| that Heaven perhaps will grant us | L |
| not admiration or victory | F |
| but simply to be accepted | M |
| as part of an undeniable Reality | F |
| like stones and trees | N |
