The Presence Chamber Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBBCCBDEDFDE| Switzerland | A |
| BEHOLD a temple builded not by hands | B |
| Columns of mist all shimmering with sun | C |
| Stream heavenward from the deep cut vales that run | C |
| Between the mountains and the vault expands | B |
| Splendor of turquoise groined with opal bands | B |
| Cloud tapestries of pearl and amber spun | C |
| Veil in that glorious pavilion | C |
| Mosaic paved with cities lakes and lands | B |
| But far withdrawn in utter light of light | D |
| Holy of Holies is the God to whom | E |
| Our souls that make their own enshrouding night | D |
| Lift piteous prayer 'Deliver us from gloom ' | F |
| Yet shrink aftrighted from the answering white | D |
| Unbearable Divine that would illume | E |
