Because Thou Art Nearest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEBEFGEGEBBB| Because thou art nearest | A |
| To the mystery of the fire | B |
| That is Earth's and the soul's | C |
| And the body's desire | B |
| Whereof we were made | D |
| As a song out of sound | E |
| Trembling together | B |
| And together enwound | E |
| O frailer more fading | F |
| The hope and the lure | G |
| That are not where thou art | E |
| They fade nor endure | G |
| But in thee is the secret | E |
| The star and the fire | B |
| Ever nearer and dearer | B |
| My joy my desire | B |
