In A Whispering Gallery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCAAADDAAEDFEFEEFG H| That whisper takes the voice | A |
| Of a Spirit's compassionings | A |
| Close but invisible | B |
| And throws me under a spell | C |
| At the kindling vision it brings | A |
| And for a moment I rejoice | A |
| And believe in transcendent things | A |
| That would mould from this muddy earth | D |
| A spot for the splendid birth | D |
| Of everlasting lives | A |
| Whereto no night arrives | A |
| And this gaunt gray gallery | E |
| A tabernacle of worth | D |
| On this drab aired afternoon | F |
| When you can barely see | E |
| Across its hazed lacune | F |
| If opposite aught there be | E |
| Of fleshed humanity | E |
| Wherewith I may commune | F |
| Or if the voice so near | G |
| Be a soul's voice floating here | H |
