Afternoon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG HIJI| When I am old and comforted | A |
| And done with this desire | B |
| With Memory to share my bed | C |
| And Peace to share my fire | B |
| - | |
| I'll comb my hair in scalloped bands | D |
| Beneath my laundered cap | E |
| And watch my cool and fragile hands | D |
| Lie light upon my lap | E |
| - | |
| And I will have a sprigged gown | F |
| With lace to kiss my throat | G |
| I'll draw my curtain to the town | F |
| And hum a purring note | G |
| - | |
| And I'll forget the way of tears | H |
| And rock and stir my tea | I |
| But oh I wish those blessed years | J |
| Were further than they be | I |
