I Am Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACAB DEDDFF GHGHIII am yet what I am none cares or knows | A |
My friends forsake me like a memory lost | B |
I am the self consumer of my woes | A |
They rise and vanish in oblivious host | C |
Like shadows in love's frenzied stifled throes | A |
And yet I am and live like vapors tossed | B |
- | |
Into the nothingness of scorn and noise | D |
Into the living sea of waking dreams | E |
Where there is neither sense of life or joys | D |
But the vast shipwreck of my life's esteems | D |
Even the dearest that I love the best | F |
Are strange nay rather stranger than the rest | F |
- | |
I long for scenes where man hath never trod | G |
A place where woman never smiled or wept | H |
There to abide with my Creator God | G |
And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept | H |
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie | I |
The grass below above the vaulted sky | I |
