The Window Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED CFGF AHIH IAAA JKJK JLML AFMF ABAB

She looks out in the blue morningA
and sees a whole wonderful worldB
she looks out in the morningA
and sees a whole worldB
-
she leans out of the windowC
and this is what she seesD
a wet rose singing to the sunE
with a chorus of red beesD
-
she leans out of the windowC
and laughs for the window is highF
she is in it like a bird on a perchG
and they scoop the blue skyF
-
she and the window scoopingA
the morning as if it were airH
scooping a green wave of leavesI
above a stone stairH
-
and an urn hung with leaden garlandsI
and girls holding hands in a ringA
and raindrops on an iron railingA
shining like a harp stringA
-
an old man draws with his ferruleJ
in wet sand a map of SpainK
the marble soldier on his pedestalJ
draws a stiff diagram of painK
-
but the walls around her trembleJ
with the speed of the earth the floorL
curves to the terrestrial centerM
and behind her the doorL
-
opens darkly down to the beginningA
far down to the first simple cryF
and the animal waking in waterM
and the opening of the eyeF
-
she looks out in the blue morningA
and sees a whole wonderful worldB
she looks out in the morningA
and sees a whole worldB
