In Prison Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACCDDCCEFEFGGHEH E| I cried out for the pain of man | A |
| I cried out for my bitter wrath | B |
| Against the hopeless life that ran | A |
| For ever in a circling path | B |
| From death to death since all began | A |
| Till on a summer night | C |
| I lost my way in the pale starlight | C |
| And saw our planet far and small | D |
| Through endless depths of nothing fall | D |
| A lonely pin prick spark of light | C |
| Upon the wide enfolding night | C |
| With leagues on leagues of stars above it | E |
| And powdered dust of stars below | F |
| Dead things that neither hate nor love it | E |
| Not even their own loveliness can know | F |
| Being but cosmic dust and dead | G |
| And if some tears be shed | G |
| Some evil God have power | H |
| Some crown of sorrow sit | E |
| Upon a little world for a little hour | H |
| Who shall remember Who shall care for it | E |
