The Past Is The Present Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI

If external action is effeteA
and rhyme is outmodedB
I shall revert to youC
Habakkuk as when in a Bible classD
the teacher was speaking of unrhymed verseE
He said and I think I repeat his exact wordsF
Hebrew poetry is proseG
with a sort of heightened consciousness Ecstasy affordsH
the occasion and expediency determines the formI
