Inscribed To The Pathetic Memory Of The Poet Henry Timrod Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCABADEDEFF| Long are the days and three times long the nights | A |
| The weary hours are a heavy chain | B |
| Upon the feet of all Earth's dear delights | A |
| Holding them ever prisoners to pain | B |
| What shall beguile me to believe again | C |
| In hope that faith within her parable writes | A |
| Of life care reads with eyes whose tear drops stain | B |
| Shall such assist me to subdue the heights | A |
| Long is the night and over long the day | D |
| The burden of all being is it worse | E |
| Or better lo that they who toil and pray | D |
| May win not more than they who toil and curse | E |
| A little sleep a little love ah me | F |
| And the slow weigh up the soul's Calvary | F |
