Mirabile Dictu Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACAB DEFEFE GHGHGH IJIJIJ| There lives a goddess in the West | A |
| An island in death lonesome seas | B |
| No towered towns are hers confessed | A |
| No castled forts and palaces | C |
| Hers simple worshipers at best | A |
| The buds the birds the bees | B |
| - | |
| And she hath wonder worlds of song | D |
| So heavenly beautiful and shed | E |
| So sweetly from her honeyed tongue | F |
| The savage creatures it is said | E |
| Hark marble still their wilds among | F |
| And nightingales fall dead | E |
| - | |
| I know her not nor have I known | G |
| I only feel that she is there | H |
| For when my heart is most alone | G |
| There broods communion on the air | H |
| Concedes an influence not its own | G |
| Miraculously fair | H |
| - | |
| Then fain is it to sing and sing | I |
| And then again to fly and fly | J |
| Beyond the flight of cloud or wing | I |
| Far under azure arcs of sky | J |
| Its love at her chaste feet to fling | I |
| Behold her face and die | J |
