            I sat in the bough of a tree and thought it was a bit rough, but the dough I made through nought but hard work was enough. Funny thing pronunciation.

                Exactly! English has enough mad pronunciations without introducing more inconsistencies.

                    The fact that quark is an internal rhyme for Mark in the first line clearly indicates it also rhymes with Dark!

                                Nope, but Mark and Quark are used as an internal rhyme so they sound the same*! * - apart from the initial M and QU, before you say it! ;P

                                      All I can say is I tried, hard. Trying it in English at the first go maybe wasn't the best idea after all.

                                        Why? I can see no logical reason to pronounce it in that way: the 'a' would indicate 'ark' rather than 'ork' (irrespective of other peculiarities that have gotten thrown up here).
