Noon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHI JKKJ ELLE MGIM

As some contented bird doth cooA
She trilled a song of fond delightB
The while she spread the cloth of whiteB
And set the cups and plates for twoA
-
She leaned beyond the window sillC
And looked along the busy streetD
And listened for his coming feetD
The skies were calm the winds were stillC
-
'O love my love why art thou lateE
The kettle boils the cloth is spreadF
The clock points close to noon ' she saidF
O clock of time O clock of fateE
-
She heard the moon's glad sound of cheerG
The hiss the whirl the crash the creakH
Of maddened wheels the awful shriekH
Of awestruck men she did not hearI
-
She lightly tripped about the roomJ
And near the window where his eyesK
Might greet it with a pleased surpriseK
She placed a pot of fragrant bloomJ
-
Strange nervous steps were at the gateE
Why grew her heart so cold so numbL
The clock struck twelve the noon had comeL
Ah noon of time O noon of fateE
-
A shattered vase beside the wallM
A young face grey with awful fearG
A rigid shape a covered bierI
A shadowed life and that is allM
