A Little While Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCD AEEFGBHB AIJAKLKL| A little while a little love | A |
| The hour yet bears for thee and me | B |
| Who have not drawn the veil to see | B |
| If still our heaven be lit above | A |
| Thou merely at the day's last sigh | C |
| Hast felt thy soul prolong the tone | D |
| And I have heard the night wind cry | C |
| And deemed its speech mine own | D |
| - | |
| A little while a little love | A |
| The scattering autumn hoards for us | E |
| Whose bower is not yet ruinous | E |
| Nor quite unleaved our songless grove | F |
| Only across the shaken boughs | G |
| We hear the flood tides seek the sea | B |
| And deep in both our hearts they rouse | H |
| One wail for thee and me | B |
| - | |
| A little while a little love | A |
| May yet be ours who have not said | I |
| The word it makes our eyes afraid | J |
| To know that each is thinking of | A |
| Not yet the end be our lips dumb | K |
| In smiles a little season yet | L |
| I'll tell thee when the end is come | K |
| How we may best forget | L |
