Threshold Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AB CD DEFG CBH IJK| I was not aware of the moment | A |
| when I first crossed the threshold of this life | B |

| What was the power that made me open out into this vast mystery | C |
| like a bud in the forest at midnight | D |
| - | |
| When in the morning I looked upon the light | D |
| I felt in a moment that I was no stranger in this world | E |
| that the inscrutable without name and form | F |
| had taken me in its arms in the form of my own mother | G |
| - | |
| Even so in death the same unknown will appear as ever known to me | C |
| And because I love this life | B |
| I know I shall love death as well | H |
| - | |
| The child cries out | I |
| when from the right breast the mother takes it away | J |
| in the very next moment to find in the left one its consolation | K |
