All Is Truth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFG HIJG BKL HMNOPQRSTCUV| O ME man of slack faith so long | A |
| Standing aloof denying portions so long | A |
| Only aware to day of compact all diffused truth | B |
| Discovering to day there is no lie or form of lie and can be none | C |
| but grows as inevitably upon itself as the truth does upon | D |
| itself | E |
| Or as any law of the earth or any natural production of the earth | F |
| does | G |
| - | |
| This is curious and may not be realized immediately But it must be | H |
| realized | I |
| I feel in myself that I represent falsehoods equally with the rest | J |
| And that the universe does | G |
| - | |
| Where has fail'd a perfect return indifferent of lies or the truth | B |
| Is it upon the ground or in water or fire or in the spirit of man | K |
| or in the meat and blood | L |
| - | |
| Meditating among liars and retreating sternly into myself I see | H |
| that there are really no liars or lies after all | M |
| And that nothing fails its perfect return And that what are called | N |
| lies are perfect returns | O |
| And that each thing exactly represents itself and what has preceded | P |
| it | Q |
| And that the truth includes all and is compact just as much as | R |
| space is compact | S |
| And that there is no flaw or vacuum in the amount of the truth but | T |
| that all is truth without exception | C |
| And henceforth I will go celebrate anything I see or am | U |
| And sing and laugh and deny nothing | V |
