Grief Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDE| I tell you hopeless grief is passionless | A |
| That only men incredulous of despair | B |
| Half taught in anguish through the midnight air | B |
| Beat upward to God's throne in loud access | A |
| Of shrieking and reproach Full desertness | A |
| In souls as countries lieth silent bare | B |
| Under the blanching vertical eye glare | B |
| Of the absolute heavens Deep hearted man express | A |
| Grief for thy dead in silence like to death | C |
| Most like a monumental statue set | D |
| In everlasting watch and moveless woe | E |
| Till itself crumble to the dust beneath | F |
| Touch it the marble eyelids are not wet | D |
| If it could weep it could arise and go | E |
