Prologue: In Darkness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD| With my sleeping beloved huddled tranquil beside me why do I lie awake | A |
| Listening to the loud clock's hurry in the darkness and feeling my heart's fierce ache | A |
| That beats one response to the brain's many questionings and in solitude bears the weight | B |
| Of all the world's evil and misery and frustration and the senseless pressure of fate | B |
| - | |
| Is it season of ploughing and sowing this long vigil that so certainly it recurs | C |
| In this unsought return of a pain that was ended is it here that a song first stirs | C |
| Can it be that from this when to night's gone from memory there will spring of a sudden some time | D |
| Like a silver lily breaking from black deadly waters the thin blown shape of a rhyme | D |
