Little Words Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Nor singing sea at night nor silver birds | B |
And I can only stare and shape my grief | A |
In little words | B |
- | |
I cannot conjure loveliness to drown | C |
The bitter woe that racks my cords apart | D |
The weary pen that sets my sorrow down | C |
Feeds at my heart | D |

There is no mercy in the shifting year | E |
No beauty wraps me tenderly about | F |
I turn to little words so you my dear | E |
Can spell them out | F |
