The Shrine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE| There is no lord within my heart | A |
| Left silent as an empty shrine | B |
| Where rose and myrtle intertwine | B |
| Within a place apart | A |
| - | |
| No god is there of carven stone | C |
| To watch with still approving eyes | D |
| My thoughts like steady incense rise | D |
| I dream and weep alone | C |

| But if I keep my altar fair | E |
| Some morning I shall lift my head | F |
| From roses deftly garlanded | F |
| To find the god is there | E |
