Voices Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEFGH DIJKL MLLL| NOW I make a leaf of Voices for I have found nothing mightier than | A |
| they are | B |
| And I have found that no word spoken but is beautiful in its place | C |
| - | |
| O what is it in me that makes me tremble so at voices | D |
| Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice him or her I shall | E |
| follow | F |
| As the water follows the moon silently with fluid steps anywhere | G |
| around the globe | H |
| - | |
| All waits for the right voices | D |
| Where is the practis'd and perfect organ Where is the develop'd | I |
| Soul | J |
| For I see every word utter'd thence has deeper sweeter new sounds | K |
| impossible on less terms | L |
| - | |
| I see brains and lips closed tympans and temples unstruck | M |
| Until that comes which has the quality to strike and to unclose | L |
| Until that comes which has the quality to bring forth what lies | L |
| slumbering forever ready in all words | L |
