Failure Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDE FGFHGH| Because God put His adamantine fate | A |
| Between my sullen heart and its desire | B |
| I swore that I would burst the Iron Gate | A |
| Rise up and curse Him on His throne of fire | B |
| Earth shuddered at my crown of blasphemy | C |
| But Love was as a flame about my feet | D |
| Proud up the Golden Stair I strode and beat | D |
| Thrice on the Gate and entered with a cry | E |
| - | |
| All the great courts were quiet in the sun | F |
| And full of vacant echoes moss had grown | G |
| Over the glassy pavement and begun | F |
| To creep within the dusty council halls | H |
| An idle wind blew round an empty throne | G |
| And stirred the heavy curtains on the walls | H |
