Unsolved Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| Amid my books I lived the hurrying years | A |
| Disdaining kinship with my fellow man | B |
| Alike to me were human smiles and tears | C |
| I cared not whither Earth's great life stream ran | B |
| Till as I knelt before my mouldered shrine | D |
| God made me look into a woman's eyes | E |
| And I who thought all earthly wisdom mine | D |
| Knew in a moment that the eternal skies | E |
| Were measured but in inches to the quest | F |
| That lay before me in that mystic gaze | G |
| Surely I have been errant it is best | F |
| That I should tread with men their human ways | G |
| God took the teacher ere the task was learned | H |
| And to my lonely books again I turned | H |
