When I Woke Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGGHIJGKLM GNGOPQRGSTUGBVB| When I woke the town spoke | A |
| Birds and clocks and cross bells | B |
| Dinned aside the coiling crowd | C |
| The reptile profligates in a flame | D |
| Spoilers and pokers of sleep | E |
| The next door sea dispelled | F |
| Frogs and satans and woman luck | G |
| While a man outside with a billhook | G |
| Up to his head in his blood | H |
| Cutting the morning off | I |
| The warm veined double of Time | J |
| And his scarving beard from a book | G |
| Slashed down the last snake as though | K |
| It were a wand or subtle bough | L |
| Its tongue peeled in the wrap of a leaf | M |
| - | |
| Every morning I make | G |
| God in bed good and bad | N |
| After a water face walk | G |
| The death stagged scatter breath | O |
| Mammoth and sparrowfall | P |
| Everybody's earth | Q |
| Where birds ride like leaves and boats like ducks | R |
| I heard this morning waking | G |
| Crossly out of the town noises | S |
| A voice in the erected air | T |
| No prophet progeny of mine | U |
| Cry my sea town was breaking | G |
| No Time spoke the clocks no God rang the bells | B |
| I drew the white sheet over the islands | V |
| And the coins on my eyelids sang like shells | B |
