In Memoriam A. H. H.: 5. Sometimes I Hold It Half A Sin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFG| I sometimes hold it half a sin | A |
| To put in words the grief I feel | B |
| For words like Nature half reveal | B |
| And half conceal the Soul within | A |
| But for the unquiet heart and brain | C |
| A use in measured language lies | D |
| The sad mechanic exercise | D |
| Like dull narcotics numbing pain | C |
| In words like weeds I'll wrap me o'er | E |
| Like coarsest clothes against the cold | F |
| But that large grief which these enfold | F |
| Is given in outline and no more | G |
