The Weeping Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG ADAH ABAB AIAI| It s terrible all drip and listening | A |
| Whether as ever it s loneliness | B |
| splashing a branch like lace on the window | C |
| or whether perhaps there s a witness | B |
| - | |
| Choked there beneath its swollen | D |
| burden earth s nostrils and audibly | E |
| like August far off in the distance | F |
| midnight ripening slow with the fields | G |
| - | |
| No sound No one s in hiding | A |
| Confirming its pure desolation | D |
| it returns to its game slipping | A |
| from roof to gutter slides on | H |
| - | |
| I ll moisten my lips listening | A |
| whether as ever I m loneliness | B |
| and ready maybe for weeping | A |
| or whether perhaps there s a witness | B |
| - | |
| But silence No leaves trembling | A |
| Nothing to see sobs and cries | I |
| being swallowed slippers splashing | A |
| between them tears and sighs | I |
