The Outer Gate Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECFE| Life said My house is thine with all its store | A |
| Behold I open shining ways to thee | B |
| Of every inner portal make thee free | B |
| O child I may not bar the outer door | A |
| Go from me if thou wilt to come no more | A |
| But all thy pain is mine thy flesh of me | B |
| And must I hear thee faint and woefully | B |
| Call on me from the darkness and implore | A |
| - | |
| Nay mother for I follow at thy will | C |
| But oftentimes thy voice is sharp to hear | D |
| Thy trailing fragrance heavy on the breath | E |
| Always the outer hall is very still | C |
| And on my face a pleasant wind and clear | F |
| Blows straitly from the narrow gate of Death | E |
