Dark Truth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC BDBDEE FGFHBBBB| Birds have no consciousness of doom | A |
| Yon thrush that serenades me daily | B |
| From scented snow of hawthorn bloom | A |
| Would not trill out his glee so gaily | B |
| Could he foretell his songful breath | C |
| Would sadly soon be stilled in death | C |
| - | |
| Yon lambs that frolic on the lea | B |
| And incarnate the joy of life | D |
| Would scarce disport them could they see | B |
| The shadow of the butcher's knife | D |
| Oh Nature with your loving ruth | E |
| You spare them knowledge of Dark Truth | E |
| - | |
| To sad humanity alone | F |
| Creation's triumph ultimate | G |
| The grimness of the grave is known | F |
| The dusty destiny await | H |
| Oh bird and beast with joy elance | B |
| Effulgently your ingorance | B |
| Oh man previsioning the hearse | B |
| With fortitude accept your curse | B |
