Enigma Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDECFGCFDCD| Some men are born to gather women's tears | A |
| To give a harbour to their timorous fears | B |
| To take them as the dry earth takes the rain | C |
| As the dark wood the warm wind from the plain | C |
| Yet their own tears remain unshed | D |
| Their own tumultuous fears unsaid | D |
| And seeming steadfast as the forest and the earth | E |
| Shaken are they with pain | C |
| They cry for voice as earth might cry for the sea | F |
| Or the wood for consuming fire | G |
| Unanswered they remain | C |
| Subject to the sorrows of women utterly | F |
| Heart and mind | D |
| Subject as the dry earth to the rain | C |
| Or the dark wood to the wind | D |
