Again Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF EGE AHA AIAI EJE KLKL| Well I've met her again at the Mission | A |
| She'd told me to see her no more | B |
| It was not a command a petition | A |
| I'd granted it once before | B |
| - | |
| Yes granted it hoping she'd write me | C |
| Repenting her virtuous freak | D |
| Subdued myself daily and nightly | C |
| For the better part of a week | D |
| - | |
| And then 'twas my duty to spare her | E |
| The shame of recalling me I | F |
| Just sought her again to prepare her | E |
| For an everlasting good bye | F |
| - | |
| O that evening of bliss shall I ever | E |
| Forget it with Shakespeare and Poe | G |
| She said when 'twas ended 'You're never | E |
| To see me again And now go ' | - |
| - | |
| As we parted with kisses 'twas human | A |
| And natural for me to smile | H |
| As I thought 'She's in love and a woman | A |
| She'll send for me after a while ' | - |
| - | |
| But she didn't and so well the Mission | A |
| Is fine picturesque and gray | I |
| It's an excellent place for contrition | A |
| And sometimes she passes that way | I |
| - | |
| That's how it occurred that I met her | E |
| And that's ah there is to tell | J |
| Except that I'd like to forget her | E |
| Calm way of remarking 'I'm well ' | - |
| - | |
| It was hardly worth while all this keying | K |
| My soul to such tensions and stirs | L |
| To learn that her food was agreeing | K |
| With that little stomach of hers | L |
