The Alchemist's Petition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCC DEEFFG| Thou wilt not sentence to eternal life | A |
| My soul that prays that it may sleep and sleep | B |
| Like a white statue dropped into the deep | B |
| Covered with sand covered with chests of gold | C |
| And slave bones tossed from many a pirate hold | C |
| - | |
| But for this prayer thou wilt not bind in Hell | D |
| My soul that shook with love for Fame and Truth | E |
| In such unquenched desires consumed his youth | E |
| Let me turn dust like dead leaves in the Fall | F |
| Or wood that lights an hour your knightly hall | F |
| Amen | G |
