Waiting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIK LBLB MNMN| O come O come the mother pray'd | A |
| And hush'd her babe let me behold | B |
| Once more thy stately form array'd | A |
| Like autumn woods in green and gold | B |
| - | |
| I see thy brethren come and go | C |
| Thy peers in stature and in hue | D |
| Thy rivals Same like monarchs glow | C |
| With richest purple some are blue | D |
| - | |
| As skies that tempt the swallow back | E |
| Or red as seen o'er wintry seas | F |
| The star of storm or barr'd with black | E |
| And yellow like the April bees | F |
| - | |
| Come they and go I heed not I | G |
| Yet others hail their advent cling | H |
| All trustful to their side and fly | G |
| Safe in their gentle piloting | H |
| - | |
| To happy homes on heath or hill | I |
| By park or river Still I wait | J |
| And peer into the darkness still | I |
| Thou com'st not I am desolate | K |
| - | |
| Hush hark I see a towering form | L |
| From the dim distance slowly roll'd | B |
| It rocks like lilies in a storm | L |
| And O its hues are green and gold | B |
| - | |
| It comes it comes Ah rest is sweet | M |
| And there is rest my babe for us | N |
| She ceased as at her very feet | M |
| Stopp'd the St John's Wood omnibus | N |
