Loneliness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFG HAHAII| All stupor of surprise hath passed away | A |
| She sees with clearer vision than before | B |
| A world far off of light and laughter gay | A |
| Herself alone and lonely evermore | B |
| Folk come and go and reach her in no wise | C |
| Mere flitting phantoms to her heavy eyes | C |
| - | |
| All outward things that once seemed part of her | D |
| Fall from her like the leaves in autumn shed | E |
| She feels as one embalmed in spice and myrrh | D |
| With the heart eaten out a long time dead | E |
| Unchanged without the features and the form | F |
| Within devoured by the thin red worm | G |
| - | |
| By her own prowess she must stand or fall | H |
| This grief is to be conquered day by day | A |
| Who could befriend her who could make this small | H |
| Or her strength great she meets it as she may | A |
| A weary struggle and a constant pain | I |
| She dreams not they may ever cease nor wane | I |
