On Receiving A Book From Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| Oh great eyed contemplation whom I saw | A |
| Walk by the blue shores of the Northern Sea | B |
| Leaning upon a giant who for thee | B |
| Seemed gentle while black Night far west did gnaw | A |
| The jagged Eve and near the flapping caw | A |
| Round Beatoun's shadowy Tower croaked down on me | B |
| More than the gloom of Night ere thou couldst see | B |
| Beyond the inhuman ruin or withdraw | A |
| Thy soul from eyes which as one tune can fill | C |
| Two voices made the pathos of that soul | D |
| A double passion standing dim and still | C |
| I saw and wondered Is this book thy scroll | D |
| Ah Sybil Hast thou writ the unheard cry | E |
| I saw thee look that eve to Eartn and Sea and Sky | E |
