In Memoriam 3: O Sorrow, Cruel Fellowship Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHIG| O Sorrow cruel fellowship | A |
| O Priestess in the vaults of Death | B |
| O sweet and bitter in a breath | B |
| What whispers from thy lying lip | A |
| - | |
| The stars she whispers blindly run | C |
| A web is wov'n across the sky | D |
| From out waste places comes a cry | D |
| And murmurs from the dying sun | C |
| - | |
| And all the phantom Nature stands | E |
| With all the music in her tone | F |
| A hollow echo of my own | F |
| A hollow form with empty hands | E |
| - | |
| And shall I take a thing so blind | G |
| Embrace her as my natural good | H |
| Or crush her like a vice of blood | I |
| Upon the threshold of the mind | G |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
