A Thought Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHI| And I have thought of youth which strains | A |
| Nearer its God to rise | B |
| What were ambition and its pains | A |
| Were life a cowardice | C |
| - | |
| The grander souls that rose above | D |
| Thought's noblest heights to tread | E |
| Found their endeavor in their love | D |
| And truth behind the dead | E |
| - | |
| A secret glory in the tomb | F |
| A night that dawns in light | G |
| An intense presence veiled with gloom | F |
| And not an endless night | G |
| - | |
| Nepenthe of this struggling world | H |
| Thou who dost stay mad Care | I |
| When her fury's scourge above is curled | H |
| And we see her writhing hair | I |
