The City Of The Soul: Ii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCA DEFDEF| What shall we do my soul to please the King | A |
| Seeing he hath no pleasure in the dance | B |
| And hath condemned the honeyed utterance | C |
| Of silver flutes and mouths made round to sing | A |
| Along the wall red roses climb and cling | A |
| And oh my prince lift up thy countenance | C |
| For there be thoughts like roses that entrance | C |
| More than the languors of soft lute playing | A |
| - | |
| Think how the hidden things that poets see | D |
| In amber eves or mornings crystalline | E |
| Hide in the soul their constant quenchless light | F |
| Till called by some celestial alchemy | D |
| Out of forgotten depths they rise and shine | E |
| Like buried treasure on Midsummer night | F |
