Sunless Days Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IFIF J| They come to ev'ry life sad sunless days | A |
| With not a light all o'er their clouded skies | B |
| And thro' the dark we grope along our ways | A |
| With hearts fear filled and lips low breathing sighs | B |
| - | |
| What is the dark Why cometh it and whence | C |
| Why does it banish all the bright away | D |
| How does it weave a spell o'er soul and sense | C |
| Why falls the shadow where'er gleams the ray | D |
| - | |
| Hast felt it I have felt it and I know | E |
| How oft and suddenly the shadows roll | F |
| From out the depths of some dim realm of woe | E |
| To wrap their darkness round the human soul | F |
| - | |
| Those days are darker than the very night | G |
| For nights have stars and sleep and happy dreams | H |
| But these days bring unto the spirit sight | G |
| The mysteries of gloom until it seems | H |
| - | |
| The light is gone forever and the dark | I |
| Hangs like a pall of death above the soul | F |
| Which rocks amid the gloom like storm swept bark | I |
| And sinks beneath a sea where tempests roll | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| Winter on the Atlantic | J |
