Flesh And Spirit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEAEFF| No 'twas the questing dream that first achieved her | A |
| More sensed for knowing no material part | B |
| More real that no false outward eye perceived her | A |
| Too gross but that pure eye within my heart | B |
| Nor feigned I as my spirit so embraced her | A |
| These arms encumbered might ah could they too | C |
| Would she not fade as vision e'er effaced her | A |
| As loves in this weak flesh so often do | C |
| In flesh she might escape me might expire | D |
| In the vicissitudes through flesh that range | E |
| But being the shadow of my heart's desire | A |
| She could not pass beyond me could not change | E |
| O paradox Want food you are richer fed | F |
| Lack the coarse crumbs you find diviner bread | F |
