Microcosmos Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABB CADCEED FGFH| I am that fantasy which race has wrought | A |
| Of mundane chance material I am time | B |
| Paeaned by the senses five like bells that chime | B |
| - | |
| I am that cramped and crumbling house of clay | C |
| Where mansoul weaves the secret webs of thought | A |
| Venturer automaton I cannot tell | D |
| What powers and instincts animate and betray | C |
| And do their dreamwork in me Seed and star | E |
| Sown by the wind in spirit I am far | E |
| From self the dull control with whom I dwell | D |
| - | |
| Also I am ancestral Aeons ahead | F |
| And ages back both son and sire I live | G |
| Mote like between the unquickened and the dead | F |
| From whom I take and unto whom I give | H |
