At The Stage Door Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BCBDDEEFFCC GHIJGIHJH| Kicking my heels in the street | A |
| Here at the edge of the pavement I wait for you sweet | A |
| Here in the crowd the blent noises blurred lights of the street | A |
| - | |
| Under the archway sheer | B |
| Sudden and black as a hole in the placarded wall | C |
| Faces flicker and veer | B |
| Wavering out of the darkness into the light | D |
| Wavering back into night | D |
| Under the archway suddenly seen the curls | E |
| And thin bright faces of girls | E |
| Roving eyes and smiling lips and the glance | F |
| Seeking finding perchance | F |
| Here at the edge of the pavement there by the wall | C |
| One face out of them all | C |
| - | |
| Steadily face after face | G |
| Cheeks with the blush of the paint yet lingering eyes | H |
| Still with their circle of black | I |
| But hers but hers | J |
| Rose leaf cheeks and flower soft lips and the grace | G |
| Of the vanishing Spring come back | I |
| And a child's heart blithe in the sudden and sweet surprise | H |
| Subtly expectant that stirs | J |
| In the smile of her heart to my heart of her eyes to my eyes | H |
