O My Friends Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHIJKL M| O my friends | A |
| What can you tell me of Love | B |
| Whose pathways are filled with strangeness | C |
| When you offer the Great One your love | B |
| At the first step your body is crushed | D |
| Next be ready to offer your head as his seat | E |
| Be ready to orbit his lamp like a moth giving in to the light | F |
| To live in the deer as she runs toward the hunter's call | G |
| In the partridge that swallows hot coals for love of the moon | H |
| In the fish that kept from the sea happily dies | I |
| Like a bee trapped for life in the closing of the sweet flower | J |
| Mira has offered herself to her Lord | K |
| She says the single Lotus will swallow you whole | L |
