Desire We Past Illusions To Recall Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEFDesire we past illusions to recall | A |
To reinstate wild Fancy would we hide | B |
Truths whose thick veil Science has drawn aside | B |
No let this Age high as she may install | A |
In her esteem the thirst that wrought man's fall | A |
The universe is infinitely wide | B |
And conquering Reason if self glorified | B |
Can nowhere move uncrossed by some new wall | A |
Or gulf of mystery which thou alone | C |
Imaginative Faith canst overleap | D |
In progress toward the fount of Love the throne | C |
Of Power whose ministers the records keep | D |
Of periods fixed and laws established less | E |
Flesh to exalt than prove its nothingness | F |
