Secrets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEDFGE| Think not some knowledge rests with thee alone | A |
| Why even God's stupendous secret Death | B |
| We one by one with our expiring breath | B |
| Do pale with wonder seize and make our own | A |
| The bosomed treasures of the earth are shown | A |
| Despite her careful hiding and the air | C |
| Yields its mysterious marvels in despair | C |
| To swell the mighty store house of things known | A |
| In vain the sea expostulates and raves | D |
| It cannot cover from the keen world's sight | E |
| The curious wonders of its coral caves | D |
| And so despite thy caution or thy tears | F |
| The prying fingers of detective years | G |
| Shall drag THY secret out into the light | E |
