O For A Soul Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCABDEFEFEF| O for a soul surrendered of all guile | A |
| A plain white soul with nothing on it writ | B |
| No creed of mockery to make men smile | A |
| No boast of wisdom travestied as wit | B |
| Only a clean soul where the infinite | C |
| Calm of the heavens as on some tropic isle | A |
| Should have looked down and on the face of it | B |
| Inscribed in sunlight Nothing here was vile '' | D |
| Thus to my life I argue it to day | E |
| Thus chide my heart its too long vanity | F |
| Its lawless strength its insolence of play | E |
| Its ancient rage of storm tossed chivalry | F |
| And yet God wot should Love's wind breathe my way | E |
| My heart would rise still a tumultuous Sea | F |
