Ineffability Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CCCC DEED| Thy deepest dolor shalt thou tell | A |
| But nevermore thy happiness | B |
| Unworded still and utterless | B |
| The incredible dark raptures dwell | A |
| - | |
| Too readily our lips repine | C |
| For splendor lost and beauty flown | C |
| Our speech is made of earthly moan | C |
| And not the praise of things divine | C |
| - | |
| Ah facile are the songs we sing | D |
| To dulcimers that sorrows mute | E |
| But joy requires a stronger lute | E |
| Of high unshatterable string | D |
