Consolation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAABCDCDDC| MINE heart is heavy with an ancient sorrow | A |
| My brain is aching with a clinging grief | B |
| And if I seek to smooth away the furrow | A |
| It plougheth in my soul in the relief | B |
| And balminess of Song the cheat is brief | B |
| One feeling still from which the Past did borrow | A |
| Exceeding light reminds me that the morrow | A |
| Must drag me farther from its lost belief | B |
| For solace therefore would I dive with Truth | C |
| Into the depths of her remotest lore | D |
| Somewhere in Nature s motherly breast there s ruth | C |
| Yet for her child though wounded to the core | D |
| Though Life s first objects may beguile no more | D |
| And Misery clothe her with the dreams of youth | C |
