Despondency Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCD| Slow figures in some live remorseless frieze | A |
| The approaching days escapeless and unguessed | B |
| With mask and shroud impenetrably dressed | B |
| Time whose inexorable destinies | A |
| Bear down upon us like impending seas | A |
| And the huge presence of the world at best | B |
| A sightless giant wandering without rest | B |
| Aged and mad with many miseries | A |
| - | |
| The weight and measure of these things who knows | C |
| Resting at times beside life's thought swept stream | D |
| Sobered and stunned with unexpected blows | C |
| We scarcely hear the uproar life doth seem | D |
| Save for the certain nearness of its woes | C |
| Vain and phantasmal as a sick man's dream | D |
