In Prison Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACCDDCCEFEFGGHEH EI cried out for the pain of man | A |
I cried out for my bitter wrath | B |
Against the hopeless life that ran | A |
For ever in a circling path | B |
From death to death since all began | A |
Till on a summer night | C |
I lost my way in the pale starlight | C |
And saw our planet far and small | D |
Through endless depths of nothing fall | D |
A lonely pin prick spark of light | C |
Upon the wide enfolding night | C |
With leagues on leagues of stars above it | E |
And powdered dust of stars below | F |
Dead things that neither hate nor love it | E |
Not even their own loveliness can know | F |
Being but cosmic dust and dead | G |
And if some tears be shed | G |
Some evil God have power | H |
Some crown of sorrow sit | E |
Upon a little world for a little hour | H |
Who shall remember Who shall care for it | E |
