The World Has Grown So Grey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFDADADGHIJJI| THE world has grown so grey love | A |
| The weary world so wide | B |
| And autumn seems to stay love | A |
| 'T was autumn when you died | B |
| And everything is strange and new | C |
| For all my world has died with you | C |
| It lacks the light you gave | D |
| And sad eyed dusk awaits alway | E |
| And the nights wedge in the narrow day | F |
| Like the walls of an open grave | D |
| It was so cruel to go love | A |
| To leave me at your grave | D |
| For Death can never know love | A |
| How hard 't is to be brave | D |
| Sometimes I smile my tears between | G |
| For I see the still born Might Have Been | H |
| That to your breast you've ta'en | I |
| But memory wakes with a sudden start | J |
| And the naked truth knells at my heart | J |
| And the world grows grey again | I |
