The Homebody Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| There still are kindly things for me to know | A |
| Who am afraid to dream afraid to feel | B |
| This little chair of scrubbed and sturdy deal | B |
| This easy book this fire sedate and slow | A |
| And I shall stay with them nor cry the woe | A |
| Of wounds across my breast that do not heal | B |
| Nor wish that Beauty drew a duller steel | B |
| Since I am sworn to meet her as a foe | A |
| - | |
| It may be when the devil's own time is done | C |
| That I shall hear the dropping of the rain | D |
| At midnight and lie quiet in my bed | E |
| Or stretch and straighten to the yellow sun | C |
| Or face the turning tree and have no pain | D |
| So shall I learn at last my heart is dead | E |
