Fragment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DADC EFGEH IHEIJKALL AALLAt last I entered a long dark gallery | A |
Catacomb lined and ranged at the side | B |
Were the bodies of men from far and wide | B |
Who motion past were nevertheless not dead | C |
- | |
The sense of waiting here strikes strong | D |
Everyone's waiting waiting it seems to me | A |
What are you waiting for so long | D |
What is to happen I said | C |
- | |
O we are waiting for one called God said they | E |
Though by some the Will or Force or Laws | F |
And vaguely by some the Ultimate Cause | G |
Waiting for him to see us before we are clay | E |
Yes waiting waiting for God to know it | H |
- | |
To know what questioned I | I |
To know how things have been going on earth and below it | H |
It is clear he must know some day | E |
I thereon asked them why | I |
Since he made us humble pioneers | J |
Of himself in consciousness of Life's tears | K |
It needs no mighty prophecy | A |
To tell that what he could mindlessly show | L |
His creatures he himself will know | L |
- | |
By some still close cowled mystery | A |
We have reached feeling faster than he | A |
But he will overtake us anon | L |
If the world goes on | L |
