A Pause Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| They made the chamber sweet with flowers and leaves | A |
| And the bed sweet with flowers on which I lay | B |
| While my soul love bound loitered on its way | B |
| I did not hear the birds about the eaves | A |
| Nor hear the reapers talk among the sheaves | A |
| Only my soul kept watch from day to day | B |
| My thirsty soul kept watch for one away | B |
| Perhaps he loves I thought remembers grieves | A |
| At length there came the step upon the stair | C |
| Upon the lock the old familiar hand | D |
| Then first my spirit seemed to scent the air | C |
| Of Paradise then first the tardy sand | D |
| Of time ran golden and I felt my hair | C |
| Put on a glory and my soul expand | D |
