Futility Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Oh I have tried to laugh the pain away | A |
| Let new flames brush my love springs like a feather | B |
| But the old fever seizes me to day | A |
| As sickness grips a soul in wretched weather | B |
| I have given up myself to every urge | C |
| With not a care of precious powers spent | D |
| Have bared my body to the strangest scourge | C |
| To soothe and deaden my heart's unhealing rent | D |
| But you have torn a nerve out of my frame | E |
| A gut that no physician can replace | F |
| And reft my life of happiness and aim | E |
| Oh what new purpose shall I now embrace | F |
| What substance hold what lovely form pursue | G |
| When my thought burns through everything to you | G |
