Tulips Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJGKLKMFN| An age being mathematical these flowers | A |
| Of linear stalks and spheroid blooms were prized | B |
| By men with wakened speculative minds | C |
| And when with mathematics they explored | D |
| The Macrocosm and came at last to | E |
| The Vital Spirit of the World and named it | F |
| Invisible Pure Fire or say the Light | G |
| The Tulips were the Light's receptacles | H |
| The gold the bronze the red the bright swart Tulips | I |
| No emblems they for us who no more dream | J |
| Of mathematics burgeoning to light | G |
| With Newton's prism and Spinoza's lens | K |
| Or berkeley's ultimate Invisible Pure Fire | L |
| In colored state and carven brilliancy | K |
| We see them now or more illumined | M |
| In sudden fieriness as flowers fit | F |
| To go with vestments red on Pentecost | N |
