Ill-starred Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDD ECF GHF I J

To bear a weight that cannot be borneA
Sisyphus even you aren't that strongB
Although your heart cannot be tornA
Time is short and Art is longB
Far from celebrated sepulchersC
Toward a solitary graveyardD
My heart like a drum muffled hardD
Beats a funeral march for the ill starredD
-
mdash Many jewels are buried or shroudedE
In darkness and oblivion's cloudsC
Far from any pick or drill bitF
-
Many a flower unburdens with regretG
Its perfume sweet like a secretH
In profoundly empty solitude to sitF
