Widow Mcfarlane Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKDILMINOM| I was the Widow McFarlane | A |
| Weaver of carpets for all the village | B |
| And I pity you still at the loom of life | C |
| You who are singing to the shuttle | D |
| And lovingly watching the work of your hands | E |
| If you reach the day of hate of terrible truth | F |
| For the cloth of life is woven you know | G |
| To a pattern hidden under the loom | H |
| A pattern you never see | I |
| And you weave high hearted singing singing | J |
| You guard the threads of love and friendship | K |
| For noble figures in gold and purple | D |
| And long after other eyes can see | I |
| You have woven a moon white strip of cloth | L |
| You laugh in your strength for Hope o'erlays it | M |
| With shapes of love and beauty | I |
| The loom stops short The pattern's out | N |
| You're alone in the room You have woven a shroud | O |
| And hate of it lays you in it | M |
