Despair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Alone Alone No beacon far or near | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp No chart no compass and no anchor stay | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Like melting fog the mirage melts away | B |
| In all surrounding darkness void and clear | A |
| Drifting I spread vain hands and vainly peer | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp And vainly call for pilot weep and pray | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Beyond these limits not the faintest ray | B |
| Shows distant coast whereto the lost may steer | A |

| O what is life if we must hold it thus | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp As wind blown sparks hold momentary fire | D |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp What are these gifts without the larger boon | E |
| O what is art or wealth or fame to us | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Who scarce have time to know what we desire | D |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp O what is love if we must part so soon | E |
