Compensation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| I know the sorrows of the last abyss | A |
| I walked the cold black pools without a star | B |
| I lay on rock of unseen flint and spar | B |
| I heard the execrable serpent hiss | A |
| I dreamed of sun fruit tree and virgin's kiss | A |
| I woke alone with midnight near and far | B |
| And everlasting hunger keen to mar | B |
| But I arose and my reward is this | A |
| I am no more one more amid the throng | C |
| Though name be naught and lips forever weak | D |
| I seem to know at last of mighty song | C |
| And with no blush no tremor on the cheek | D |
| I do claim consort with the great and strong | C |
| Who suffered ill and had the gift to speak | D |
