Earth-s Moments Of Gloom Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BBCCDDCC EEFFGGHH IIJJ| The heart knoweth its own bitterness | A |
| - | |
| The heart hath its moments of hopeless gloom | B |
| As rayless as is the dark night of the tomb | B |
| When the past has no spell the future no ray | C |
| To chase the sad cloud from the spirit away | C |
| When earth though in all her rich beauty arrayed | D |
| Hath a gloom o er her flowers o er her skies a dark shade | D |
| And we turn from all pleasure with loathing away | C |
| Too downcast too spirit sick even to pray | C |
| - | |
| Oh where may the heart seek in moments like this | E |
| A whisper of hope or a faint gleam of bliss | E |
| When friendship seems naught but a cold cheerless flame | F |
| And love a still falser and emptier name | F |
| When honors and wealth are a wearisome chain | G |
| Each link interwoven with grief and with pain | G |
| And each solace or joy that the spirit might crave | H |
| Is barren of comfort and dark as the grave | H |
| - | |
| Lift lift up thy sinking heart pilgrim of life | I |
| A sure spell there is for thy spirit s sad strife | I |
| Tis not to be found in the well springs of earth | J |
| Oh no tis of higher and holier birth | J |
