I Closed My Eyes To Creation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGHIJKLMNOPQ| I closed my eyes to creation when I beheld his beauty I became | A |
| intoxicated with his beauty and bestowed my soul | B |
| For the sake of Solomon s seal I became wax in all my body | C |
| and in order to become illumined I rubbed my wax | D |
| I saw his opinion and cast away my own twisted opinion I | E |
| became his reed pipe and likewise lamented on his lip | F |
| He was in my hand and blindly I groped for him with my | E |
| hand I was in his hand and yet I inquired of those who were | G |
| misinformed | H |
| I must have been either a simpleton or drunk or mad that | I |
| fearfully I was stealing from my own gold | J |
| Like a thief I crept through a crack in the wall into my own | K |
| vine like a thief I gathered jasmine from my own garden | L |
| Enough do not twist my secret upon your fingertips for I have | M |
| twisted off out of your twisted fist | N |
| Shams e Tabriz from whom comes the light of moon and | O |
| stars though I am grieving with sorrow for him I am like the | P |
| crescent of the festival | Q |
