Fortune Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFG FHH| One must have courage as strong | A |
| As Sisyphus' lifting this weight | B |
| Though the heart for the work may be great | B |
| Time is fleeting and Art is so long | A |
| - | |
| Far from the tombs of the brave | C |
| Toward a churchyard obscure and apart | D |
| Like a muffled drum my heart | D |
| Beats a funeral march to the grave | C |

| But sleeping lies many a gem | E |
| In dark unfathomed caves | F |
| Far from the probes of men | G |
| - | |
| And many a flower waves | F |
| And wastes its sweet perfumes | H |
| In desert solitudes | H |
