Neighbors Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIJKLML NOPOQRSR| As often as we thought of her | A |
| We thought of a gray life | B |
| That made a quaint economist | C |
| Of a wolf haunted wife | B |
| We made the best of all she bore | D |
| That was not ours to bear | E |
| And honored her for wearing things | F |
| That were not things to wear | E |
| - | |
| There was a distance in her look | G |
| That made us look again | H |
| And if she smiled we might believe | I |
| That we had looked in vain | J |
| Rarely she came inside our doors | K |
| And had not long to stay | L |
| And when she left it seemed somehow | M |
| That she was far away | L |
| - | |
| At last when we had all forgot | N |
| That all is here to change | O |
| A shadow on the commonplace | P |
| Was for a moment strange | O |
| Yet there was nothing for surprise | Q |
| Nor much that need be told | R |
| Love with his gift of pain had given | S |
| More than one heart could hold | R |
