Desire We Past Illusions To Recall Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEF

Desire we past illusions to recallA
To reinstate wild Fancy would we hideB
Truths whose thick veil Science has drawn asideB
No let this Age high as she may installA
In her esteem the thirst that wrought man's fallA
The universe is infinitely wideB
And conquering Reason if self glorifiedB
Can nowhere move uncrossed by some new wallA
Or gulf of mystery which thou aloneC
Imaginative Faith canst overleapD
In progress toward the fount of Love the throneC
Of Power whose ministers the records keepD
Of periods fixed and laws established lessE
Flesh to exalt than prove its nothingnessF

William Wordsworth
