Sorrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDE FGFGHH| Woe to him that has not known the woe of man | A |
| Who has not felt within him burning all the want | B |
| Of desolated bosoms since the world began | A |
| Felt as his own the burden of the fears that daunt | C |
| Who has not eaten failure's bitter bread and been | D |
| Among those ghosts of hope that haunt the day unseen | E |
| - | |
| Only when we are hurt with all the hurt untold | F |
| In us the thirst the hunger and ours the helpless hands | G |
| The palsied effort vain the darkness and the cold | F |
| Then only then the Spirit knows and understands | G |
| And finds in every sigh breathed out beneath the sun | H |
| The human heart that makes us infinitely one | H |
