My Soul Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHIn the flame of the flickering fire | A |
The sins of my soul are few | B |
And the thoughts in my head are the thoughts of a bed | C |
With a solitary view | B |
But the eye of eternal consciousness | D |
Must blink as a bat blinks bright | E |
Or ever the thoughts in my head be stilled | F |
On the brink of eternal night | E |
- | |
- | |
Oh feed to the golden fish his egg | G |
Where he floats in his captive bowl | H |
To the cat his kind from the womb born blind | I |
And to the Lord my soul | H |
