De Profundis Clamavi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA BCCB DED EFF| Have pity You alone whom I adore | A |
| From down this black pit where my heart is sped | B |
| A sombre universe ringed round with lead | B |
| Where fear and curses the long night explore | A |
| - | |
| Six months a cold sun hovers overhead | B |
| The other six is night upon this land | C |
| No beast no stream no wood no leaves expand | C |
| The desert Pole is not a waste so dead | B |
| - | |
| Now in the whole world there's no horror quite | D |
| so cold and cruel as this glacial sun | E |
| So like old Chaos as this boundless night | D |
| - | |
| I envy the least animals that run | E |
| Which can find respite in brute slumber drowned | F |
| So slowly is the skein of time unwound | F |
