The Onlooker Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF| If I could make a pillow for your head | A |
| Soft pleasant filled with every pretty thought | B |
| If I could lay a carpet where you tread | A |
| Of all my life's most radiant fancies wrought | B |
| And spread my love as canopy above you | C |
| Your sleep your steps should know how much I love you | C |
| - | |
| But as life goes to the old sorry tune | D |
| I stand apart I see thorns wound your feet | E |
| Your sleeping eyes resenting sun and moon | D |
| Your head lie restless on a breast unmeet | E |
| And say no word and suffer without moan | F |
| Lest you should guess how much you are alone | F |
