From The Dark Tower Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACCDDEE| We shall not always plant while others reap | A |
| The golden increment of bursting fruit | B |
| Not always countenance abject and mute | B |
| That lesser men should hold their brothers cheap | A |
| Not everlastingly while others sleep | A |
| Shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute | B |
| Not always bend to some more subtle brute | B |
| We were not made to eternally weep | A |
| The night whose sable breast relieves the stark | C |
| White stars is no less lovely being dark | C |
| And there are buds that cannot bloom at all | D |
| In light but crumple piteous and fall | D |
| So in the dark we hide the heart that bleeds | E |
| And wait and tend our agonizing seeds | E |
