Thomas Decker: Viii Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDEFD| OUT of the depths of darkling life where sin | A |
| Laughs piteously that sorrow should not know | B |
| Her own ill name nor woe be counted woe | B |
| Where hate and craft and lust make drearier din | A |
| Than sounds through dreams that grief holds revel in | A |
| What charm of joy bells ringing streams that flow | B |
| Winds that blow healing in each note they blow | B |
| Is this that the outer darkness hears begin | A |
| - | |
| O sweetest heart of all thy time save one | C |
| Star seen for love s sake nearest to the sun | C |
| Hung lamplike o er a dense and doleful city | D |
| Not Shakespeare s very spirit howe er more great | E |
| Than thine toward man was more compassionate | F |
| Nor gave Christ praise from lips more sweet with pity | D |
