Apology Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBBBAEFEBAGBBAHAI JA| Have I slept and failed to hear you calling | A |
| Cry again belov'd for sleep is heavy | B |
| Curtaining away the golden sunlight | C |
| Shutting out the blue sky and the breezes | D |
| Sealing up my ears to all you tell me | B |
| Cry again your voice shall pierce the clumsy | B |
| Leaden folds that sleep has wrapt about me | B |
| Cry again accomplish what the singing | A |
| Hours old now on all the trees and bushes | E |
| And the wind and sun could not accomplish | F |
| Lo I waste good hours of love and kisses | E |
| While the sun and you have spilt your glory | B |
| Freely on me lying unregarding | A |
| In the happy islands where no sunset | G |
| Stains the waters with a morbid splendour | B |
| Where the open skies are blue for ever | B |
| I might stay for years and years unsleeping | A |
| Living for divinest conversation | H |
| Music colour scent and sense unceasing | A |
| Entering by eye and ear and nostril | I |
| Ah but flesh is flesh and I am mortal | J |
| Cry again and do not leave me sleeping | A |
