The Letter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEF GHIJKJL MNOJPAC| Little cramped words scrawling all over | A |
| the paper | A |
| Like draggled fly's legs | B |
| What can you tell of the flaring moon | C |
| Through the oak leaves | D |
| Or of my uncertain window and the | E |
| bare floor | F |
| - | |
| Spattered with moonlight | G |
| Your silly quirks and twists have nothing | H |
| in them | I |
| Of blossoming hawthorns | J |
| And this paper is dull crisp smooth | K |
| virgin of loveliness | J |
| Beneath my hand | L |
| - | |
| I am tired Beloved of chafing my heart | M |
| against | N |
| The want of you | O |
| Of squeezing it into little inkdrops | J |
| And posting it | P |
| And I scald alone here under the fire | A |
| Of the great moon | C |
