Transit Of The Gods Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGEHFIFEFFJ| Strange that the self s continuum should outlast | A |
| The Virgin Aphrodite and the Mourning Mother | B |
| All loves and griefs successive deities | C |
| That hold their kingdom in the human breast | D |
| Abandoned by the gods woman with an ageing body | E |
| That half remembers the Annunciation | F |
| The passion and the travail and the grief | G |
| That wore the mask of my humanity | E |
| I marvel at the soul s indifference | H |
| For in her theatre the play is done | F |
| The tears are shed the actors the immortals | I |
| In their ceaseless manifestation elsewhere gone | F |
| And I who have been Virgin and Aphrodite | E |
| The mourning Isis and the queen of corn | F |
| Wait for the last mummer dread Persephone | F |
| To dance my dust at last into the tomb | J |
