On Receiving A Book From Dante Rossetti Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBADEEFFDSince he is Poet of whom gods ordain | A |
Some most anthropic and perhuman act | B |
Whereby his manhood shall so man his fact | B |
That but his man of man is born again | C |
And since humanity is most humane | A |
Not at our pyramid's base where we have tact | B |
Of dust and supersurge the common tract | B |
Of being but up there where form doth reign | A |
To apex let a Poet ask no fame | D |
But that which high o'er floods of Life and Death | E |
From singing arks Ararat echoeth | E |
To Ararat and let him rather be | F |
Oh Poet writ on yonder page by thee | F |
Than hear what vulgar breath should make his world wide name | D |
