Hap Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CCCC DEDEEE| If but some vengeful god would call to me | A |
| From up the sky and laugh Thou suffering thing | B |
| Know that thy sorrow is my ecstasy | A |
| that thy love's loss is my hate's profiting | B |
| - | |
| Then would I bear it clench myself and die | C |
| Steeled by the sense of ire unmerited | C |
| Half eased in that a Powerfuller than I | C |
| Had willed and meted me the tears I shed | C |
| - | |
| But not so How arrives it joy lies slain | D |
| And why unblooms the best hope ever sown | E |
| Crass Casualty obstructs the sun and rain | D |
| And dicing Time for gladness casts a moan | E |
| These purblind Doomsters had as readily strown | E |
| Blisses about my pilgrimage as pain | E |
