The Unremembered Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDEDCE| What stern prenatal palls occlude from us | A |
| Once dominant Signs once rampant arms How strait | B |
| The sunless road suspended separate | B |
| That leads from death to birth Not luminous | A |
| - | |
| With lodestar or with star calamitous | A |
| The Past is closed as by the night black spate | B |
| Of planet gulfing seas its keyless gate | B |
| Lost in Avernian shadows cavernous | A |
| - | |
| In his bleak mercy Death forever strips | C |
| The soul of light and memory rendering blind | D |
| Our vision lest surmounted deeps appal | E |
| As when on mountain heights a glance behind | D |
| Betrays with knowledge and the climber slips | C |
| Down gulfs of fear to some enormous fall | E |
