The Unreturning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CBBC DEBDEB

Suddenly night crushed out the day and hurledA
Her remnants over cloud peaks thunder walledB
Then fell a stillness such as harks appalledB
When far gone dead return upon the worldA
-
-
There watched I for the Dead but no ghost wokeC
Each one whom Life exiled I named and calledB
But they were all too far or dumbed or thralledB
And never one fared back to me or spokeC
-
-
Then peered the indefinite unshapen dawnD
With vacant gloaming sad as half lit mindsE
The weak limned hour when sick men's sighs are drainedB
And while I wondered on their being withdrawnD
Gagged by the smothering Wing which none unbindsE
I dreaded even a heaven with doors so chainedB
