Absence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFAEGGHIJK LMNOPKP D| My shadow | A |
| I woke to a wind swirling the curtains light and dark | B |
| and the birds twittering on the roofs I lay cold | C |
| in the early light in my room high over London | D |
| What fear was it that made the wind sound like a fire | E |
| so that I got up and looked out half asleep | F |
| at the calm rows of street lights fading far below | A |
| Without fire | E |
| Only the wind blew | G |
| But in the dream I woke from you | G |
| came running through the traffic tugging me clinging | H |
| to my elbow your eyes spoke | I |
| what I could not grasp | J |
| Nothing if you were here | K |
| - | |
| The wind of the early quiet | L |
| merges slowly now with a thousand rolling wheels | M |
| The lights are out the air is loud | N |
| It is an ordinary January day | O |
| My shadow do you hear the streets | P |
| Are you at my heels Are you here | K |
| And I throw back the sheets | P |
