The Conversation Of Prayer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDA EFABE GHAIJ CIKLA| The conversation of prayers about to be said | A |
| By the child going to bed and the man on the stairs | B |
| Who climbs to his dying love in her high room | C |
| The one not caring to whom in his sleep he will move | D |
| And the other full of tears that she will be dead | A |
| - | |
| Turns in the dark on the sound they know will arise | E |
| Into the answering skies from the green ground | F |
| From the man on the stairs and the child by his bed | A |
| The sound about to be said in the two prayers | B |
| For the sleep in a safe land and the love who dies | E |
| - | |
| Will be the same grief flying Whom shall they calm | G |
| Shall the child sleep unharmed or the man be crying | H |
| The conversation of prayers about to be said | A |
| Turns on the quick and the dead and the man on the stair | I |
| To night shall find no dying but alive and warm | J |
| - | |
| In the fire of his care his love in the high room | C |
| And the child not caring to whom he climbs his prayer | I |
| Shall drown in a grief as deep as his made grave | K |
| And mark the dark eyed wave through the eyes of sleep | L |
| Dragging him up the stairs to one who lies dead | A |
