Silent Hour Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFFGFHIFGDJJGD KK| In this drear interim | A |
| Of days disconsolate remote from thee | B |
| Surely it were enough of happiness | C |
| To sit once more beside thee and to see | B |
| Thy patient lingers press | D |
| The clay whereon still inchoate and dim | E |
| Wavers the face of some fair satyress | D |
| Or dancer's form or goddess revenant | F |
| From deep antiquity | F |
| To watch throughout the sunned or lamplit hour | G |
| Thy tireless toil intent | F |
| Speaking no word while on my heart again | H |
| Full tided love draws back in every vein | I |
| Like a dark sea through caverns refluent | F |
| But deepens still the fountains of its power | G |
| Thus thus to wait with eyes | D |
| That love thy drooping hair thy bended brow | J |
| Till the hour becomes an everlasting Now | J |
| Till all the silence opens into flower | G |
| Till some great rose of wonder and surprise | D |
| In secret sudden bloom | K |
| With magic fragrance overbrims the room | K |
