In Absence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABB CDCDE FGFGG| WAKE do you wake in the dark in the strange far place | A |
| Window and door not set like the ones we knew | B |
| Leaning your face through the dark for another face | A |
| Stretching your arms to the arms that are far from you | B |
| Even as I through the depth of this darkness do | B |
| - | |
| Sleep do you sleep in the house in the lonely land | C |
| In the lonely room do you hear no steps draw near | D |
| Do you miss in the darkness the hand that implores your hand | C |
| See through the darkness your last dream disappear | D |
| And weep as I weep in the outer darkness here | E |
| - | |
| Dream do you dream Nay never a dream will stay | F |
| Never a phantom is fond or a vision kind | G |
| Your dreams elude you and fly through the dark my way | F |
| My dreams fly forth to you whom they may not find | G |
| And we in the darkness weep we weep and are left behind | G |
