Lament (whom Will You Cry To, Heart?) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF AGDHIBJK B

Whom will you cry to heart More and more lonelyA
your path struggles on through incomprehensibleB
mankind All the more futile perhapsC
for keeping to its directionD
keeping on toward the futureE
toward what has been lostF
-
Once You lamented What was it A fallen berryA
of jubilation unripeG
But now the whole tree of my jubilationD
is breaking in the storm it is breaking my slowH
tree of joyI
Loveliest in my invisibleB
landscape you that made me more knownJ
to the invisible angelsK
