Known In Vain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADCADEDEED| As two whose love first foolish widening scope | A |
| Knows suddenly with music high and soft | B |
| The Holy of holies who because they scoff'd | C |
| Are now amazed with shame nor dare to cope | A |
| With the whole truth aloud lest heaven should ope | A |
| Yet at their meetings laugh not as they | D |
| In speech nor speak at length but sitting oft | C |
| Together within hopeless sight of hope | A |
| For hours are silent So it happeneth | D |
| When Work and Will awake too late to gaze | E |
| After their life sailed by and hold their breath | D |
| Ah who shall dare to search through what sad maze | E |
| Thenceforth their incommunicable ways | E |
| Follow the desultory feet of Death | D |
