Despair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEFE GHGH IAIA| We catch a glimpse of it gaunt and gray | A |
| When the golden sunbeams are all abroad | B |
| We sober a moment then softly say | A |
| The world still lies in the hand of God | C |
| - | |
| We watch it stealthily creeping o'er | D |
| The threshold leading to somebody's soul | E |
| A shadow we cry it cannot be more | F |
| When faith is one's portion and Heaven one's goal | E |
| - | |
| A ghost that comes stealing its way along | G |
| Affrighting the weak with its gruesome air | H |
| But who that is young and glad and strong | G |
| Fears for a moment to meet Despair | H |
| - | |
| To this heart of ours we have thought so bold | I |
| All uninvited it comes one day | A |
| Lo faith grows wan and love grows cold | I |
| And the heaven of our dreams lies far away | A |
