Betrayed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB BCBD EFEF GHGH EBEB IJIJ KLML| I WENT back to our home to day | A |
| That still its robe of roses wore | B |
| My feet took the old easy way | A |
| And led me to our door | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| And you are gone and never more | B |
| Those little feet of yours will come | C |
| To meet me at the open door | B |
| The threshold of our home | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| The door unlatched did not protest | E |
| I entered and the silence drew | F |
| My steps towards the little nest | E |
| That once I shared with you | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| There lay your fan your open book | G |
| Your seam half sewn and I could see | H |
| The window whence you used to look | G |
| Yes once you looked for me | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| Print of your little head caressed | E |
| Our pillow still and on the floor | B |
| Still lay dropped there when last you dressed | E |
| The scarf and rose you wore | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| All should have spoken of you plain | I |
| Yet when I bade the silence tell | J |
| Of you my bidding was in vain | I |
| I could not break its spell | J |
| - | |
| - | |
| The silence would not speak my dear | K |
| Till the last level light grew dim | L |
| Then in the twilight I could hear | M |
| The silence spoke of him | L |
