Scarabæus Sisyphus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEDEDE| I've watched thee Scarab Yea an hour in vain | A |
| I've watched thee slowly toiling up the hill | B |
| Pushing thy lump of mud before thee still | B |
| With patience infinite and stubborn strain | A |
| Strive as thou mayst spare neither time nor pain | A |
| To screen thy burden from all chance of ill | B |
| Push push with all a beetle's force of will | B |
| Thy ball alas rolls ever down again | C |
| - | |
| Toil without end And why That after thee | D |
| Dim hosts of groping Scarabs too shall climb | E |
| This self same height Accurs d progeny | D |
| Of Sisyphus what antenatal crime | E |
| Has doomed us too to roll incessantly | D |
| Life's Stone recoiling from the Alps of time | E |
