Dedication Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD AEFFG FFFGH FIJF| I have great faith in all things not yet spoken | A |
| I want my deepest pious feelings freed | B |
| What no one yet has dared to risk and warrant | C |
| will be for me a challenge I must meet | D |
| - | |
| If this presumptious seems God may I be forgiven | A |
| For what I want to say to you is this | E |
| my efforts shall be like a driving force | F |
| quite without anger without timidness | F |
| as little children show their love for you | G |
| - | |
| With these outflowing river like with deltas | F |
| that spread like arms to reach the open sea | F |
| with the recurrent tides that never cease | F |
| will I acknowledge you will I proclaim you | G |
| as no one ever has before | H |
| - | |
| And if this should be arrogance so let me | F |
| arrogant be to justify my prayer | I |
| that stands so serious and so alone | J |
| before your forehead circled by the clouds | F |
