The Temple Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGA H| To leave the earth was my wish and no will stayed my rising | A |
| Early before sun had filled the roads with carts | B |
| Conveying folk to weddings and to murders | C |
| Before men left their selves of sleep to wander | D |
| In the dark of the world like whipped beasts | E |
| - | |
| I took no pack I had no horse no staff no gun | F |
| I got up a little way and something called me | G |
| Saying | A |
| 'Put your hand in mine We will seek God together ' | - |
| And I answered 'It is your father who is lost not mine ' | - |
| Then the sky filled with tears of blood and snakes sang | H |
