In Progress Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDECFGHHGF| Ten years ago it seemed impossible | A |
| That she should ever grow so calm as this | B |
| With self remembrance in her warmest kiss | B |
| And dim dried eyes like an exhausted well | C |
| Slow speaking when she has some fact to tell | C |
| Silent with long unbroken silences | D |
| Centred in self yet not unpleased to please | E |
| Gravely monotonous like a passing bell | C |
| Mindful of drudging daily common things | F |
| Patient at pastime patient at her work | G |
| Wearied perhaps but strenuous certainly | H |
| Sometimes I fancy we may one day see | H |
| Her head shoot forth seven stars from where they lurk | G |
| And her eyes lightnings and her shoulders wings | F |
