The Saddest Hour Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCECFEEF| The saddest hour of anguish and of loss | A |
| Is not that season of supreme despair | B |
| When we can find no least light anywhere | B |
| To gild the dread black shadow of the Cross | A |
| Not in that luxury of sorrow when | C |
| We sup on salt of tears and drink the gall | D |
| Of memories of days beyond recall | D |
| Of lost delights that cannot come again | C |
| But when with eyes that are no longer wet | E |
| We look out on the great wide world of men | C |
| And smiling lean toward a bright to morrow | F |
| Then backward shrink with sudden keen regret | E |
| To find that we are learning to forget | E |
| Ah then we face the saddest hour of sorrow | F |
