Sickness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAB CCD DDE FFG HHI| Waving slowly before me pushed into the dark | A |
| Unseen my hands explore the silence drawing the bark | A |
| Of my body slowly behind | B |
| - | |
| Nothing to meet my fingers but the fleece of night | C |
| Invisible blinding my face and my eyes What if in their flight | C |
| My hands should touch the door | D |
| - | |
| What if I suddenly stumble and push the door | D |
| Open and a great grey dawn swirls over my feet before | D |
| I can draw back | E |
| - | |
| What if unwitting I set the door of eternity wide | F |
| And am swept away in the horrible dawn am gone down the tide | F |
| Of eternal hereafter | G |
| - | |
| Catch my hands my darling between your breasts | H |
| Take them away from their venture before fate wrests | H |
| The meaning out of them | I |
