Fragment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DADC EFGEH IHEIJKALL AALL

At last I entered a long dark galleryA
Catacomb lined and ranged at the sideB
Were the bodies of men from far and wideB
Who motion past were nevertheless not deadC
-
The sense of waiting here strikes strongD
Everyone's waiting waiting it seems to meA
What are you waiting for so longD
What is to happen I saidC
-
O we are waiting for one called God said theyE
Though by some the Will or Force or LawsF
And vaguely by some the Ultimate CauseG
Waiting for him to see us before we are clayE
Yes waiting waiting for God to know itH
-
To know what questioned II
To know how things have been going on earth and below itH
It is clear he must know some dayE
I thereon asked them whyI
Since he made us humble pioneersJ
Of himself in consciousness of Life's tearsK
It needs no mighty prophecyA
To tell that what he could mindlessly showL
His creatures he himself will knowL
-
By some still close cowled mysteryA
We have reached feeling faster than heA
But he will overtake us anonL
If the world goes onL
