O' Lyric Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGDHIJKDLMNJOPQ RSTUVW| O' Lyric Love half angel and half bird | A |
| And all a wonder and a wild desire | B |
| Boldest of hearts that ever braved the sun | C |
| Took sanctuary within the holier blue | D |
| And sang a kindred soul out to his face | E |
| Yet human at the red ripe of the heart | F |
| When the first summons from the darkling earth | G |
| Reached thee amid thy chambers blanched their blue | D |
| And bared them of the glory to drop down | H |
| To toil for man to suffer or to die | I |
| This is the same voice can thy soul know change | J |
| Hail then and hearken from the realms of help | K |
| Never may I commence my song my due | D |
| To God who best taught song by gift of thee | L |
| Except with bent head and beseeching hand | M |
| That still despite the distance and the dark | N |
| What was again may be some interchange | J |
| Of grace some splendor once thy very thought | O |
| Some benediction anciently thy smile | P |
| Never conclude but raising hand and head | Q |
| Thither where eyes that cannot reach yet yearn | R |
| For all hope all sustainment all reward | S |
| Their upmost up and on so blessing back | T |
| In those thy realms of help that heaven thy home | U |
| Some whiteness which I judge thy face makes proud | V |
| Some wanness where I think thy foot may fall | W |
