The Spirit Medium Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE DGDHDEFE IJKLMEFEPoetry music I have loved and yet | A |
Because of those new dead | B |
That come into my soul and escape | C |
Confusion of the bed | B |
Or those begotten or unbegotten | D |
Perning in a band | E |
I bend my body to the spade | F |
Or grope with a dirty hand | E |
- | |
Or those begotten or unbegotten | D |
For I would not recall | G |
Some that being unbegotten | D |
Are not individual | H |
But copy some one action | D |
Moulding it of dust or sand | E |
I bend my body to the spade | F |
Or grope with a dirty hand | E |
- | |
An old ghost's thoughts are lightning | I |
To follow is to die | J |
Poetry and music I have banished | K |
But the stupidity | L |
Of root shoot blossom or clay | M |
Makes no demand | E |
I bend my body to the spade | F |
Or grope with a dirty hand | E |
