Beneath A Veil Of Milky White Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA CADE FAFG HIHA JKLA HHMN| Beneath a veil of milky white | A |
| Stands Isaac's like a hoary dovecote | A |
| The crozier irritates the grey silences | B |
| The heart understands the airy rite | A |
| - | |
| The wandering specter of the centennial requiem | C |
| The grand bearing of the shroud | A |
| And in a decrepit seine the Gennesarian gloom | D |
| Of the Lenten Week | E |
| - | |
| The Old Testament smoke on warm altars | F |
| And the final orphaned cry of the priest | A |
| A regal humble man clean snow on his shoulders | F |
| And the savage purple mantles | G |
| - | |
| The eternal cathedrals of Sofia and Peter | H |
| Storehouses of air and light the possessions | I |
| Of the universal granary | H |
| And the threshing barn of the New Testament | A |
| - | |
| The spirit is not drawn to you in sorely troubled times | J |
| Here drags the wolf's track of unhappiness | K |
| Along the cloudy steps | L |
| We will never betray it | A |
| - | |
| For the slave is free has overcome fear | H |
| And preserved beyond measure | H |
| In the cool granaries in deep combines | M |
| Is the kernel of deep full faith | N |
