A Baby Asleep After Pain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFGAHIAJAK| As a drenched drowned bee | A |
| Hangs numb and heavy from a bending flower | B |
| So clings to me | A |
| My baby her brown hair brushed with wet tears | C |
| And laid against her cheek | D |
| Her soft white legs hanging heavily over my arm | E |
| Swinging heavily to my movements as I walk | F |
| My sleeping baby hangs upon my life | G |
| Like a burden she hangs on me | A |
| She has always seemed so light | H |
| But now she is wet with tears and numb with pain | I |
| Even her floating hair sinks heavily | A |
| Reaching downwards | J |
| As the wings of a drenched drowned bee | A |
| Are a heaviness and a weariness | K |
