The Thread Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFGBHIIJKALMN| Something is very gently | A |
| invisibly silently | A |
| pulling at me a thread | B |
| or net of threads | C |
| finer than cobweb and as | D |
| elastic I haven't tried | E |
| the strength of it No barbed hook | F |
| pierced and tore me Was it | G |
| not long ago this thread | B |
| began to draw me Or | H |
| way back Was I | I |
| born with its knot about my | I |
| neck a bridle Not fear | J |
| but a stirring | K |
| of wonder makes me | A |
| catch my breath when I feel | L |
| the tug of it when I thought | M |
| it had loosened itself and gone | N |
