Fate Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCD| Oft as I rest in quiet peace am I | A |
| Thrust out at sudden doors and madly driven | B |
| Through desert solitudes and thunder riven | B |
| Black passages which have not any sky | A |
| The scourge is on me now with all the cry | A |
| Of ancient life that hath with murder striven | B |
| How many an anguish hath gone up to heaven | B |
| How many a hand in prayer been lifted high | A |
| When the black fate came onward with the rush | C |
| Of whirlwind avalanche or fiery spume | D |
| Even at my feet is cleft a shivering tomb | D |
| Beneath the waves or else with solemn hush | C |
| The graveyard opens and I feel a crush | C |
| As if we were all huddled in one doom | D |
