The Olive Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDCEFGHIJJIKLLMNOMM PPMAQRIST| Rainer Maria Rilke | A |
| - | |
| He went up under the gray leaves | B |
| All gray and lost in the olive lands | C |
| And laid his forehead gray with dust | D |
| Deep in the dustiness of his hot hands | C |
| After everything this And this was the end | E |
| Now I must go as I am going blind | F |
| And why is it Thy will that I must say | G |
| Thou art when I myself no more can find Thee | H |
| I find Thee no more Not in me no | I |
| Not in others Not in this stone | J |
| I find Thee no more I am alone | J |
| I am alone with all men's sorrow | I |
| All that through Thee I thought to lighten | K |
| Thou who art not O nameless shame | L |
| Men said later an angel came | L |
| Why an angel Alas there came the night | M |
| And leafed through the trees indifferently | N |
| The disciples moved a little in their dreams | O |
| Why an angel Alas there came the night | M |
| The night that came was no uncommon night | M |
| So hundreds of nights go by | P |
| There dogs sleep there stones lie | P |
| Alas a sorrowful alas any night | M |
| That waits till once more it is morning | A |
| For then beseech the angels do not come | Q |
| Never do nights grow great around them | R |
| Who lose themselves all things let go | I |
| They are renounced by their own fathers | S |
| And shut from their own mothers' hearts | T |
