Slow Through The Dark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Slow moves the pageant of a climbing race | A |
| Their footsteps drag far far below the height | B |
| And unprevailing by their utmost might | B |
| Seem faltering downward from each hard won place | A |
| No strange swift sprung exception we we trace | A |
| A devious way thro' dim uncertain light | B |
| Our hope through the long vistaed years a sight | B |
| Of that our Captain's soul sees face to face | A |
| Who faithless faltering that the road is steep | C |
| Now raiseth up his drear insistent cry | D |
| Who stoppeth here to spend a while in sleep | C |
| Or curseth that the storm obscures the sky | D |
| Heed not the darkness round you dull and deep | C |
| The clouds grow thickest when the summit's nigh | D |
