Sibylline Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDCE CFCFGHGHG| THERE is a glory in the apple boughs | A |
| Of silver moonlight like a torch of myrrh | B |
| Burning upon an altar of sweet vows | A |
| Dropped from the hand of some wan worshipper | B |
| And there is life among the apple blooms | C |
| Of whisp'ring winds as if a god addressed | D |
| The flamen from the sanctuary glooms | C |
| With secrets of the bourne that hope hath guessed | D |
| Saying 'Behold a darkness which illumes | C |
| A waking which is rest ' | E |
| - | |
| There is a blackness in the apple trees | C |
| Of tempest like the ashes of an urn | F |
| Hurt hands have gathered upon blistered knees | C |
| With salt of tears out of the flames that burn | F |
| And there is death among the blooms that fill | G |
| The night with breathless scent as when above | H |
| The priest the vision of his faith doth will | G |
| Forth from his soul the beautiful form thereof | H |
| Saying 'Behold a silence never still | G |
| The other form of love ' | - |
