Noon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHI JKKJ ELLE MGIM| As some contented bird doth coo | A |
| She trilled a song of fond delight | B |
| The while she spread the cloth of white | B |
| And set the cups and plates for two | A |
| - | |
| She leaned beyond the window sill | C |
| And looked along the busy street | D |
| And listened for his coming feet | D |
| The skies were calm the winds were still | C |
| - | |
| 'O love my love why art thou late | E |
| The kettle boils the cloth is spread | F |
| The clock points close to noon ' she said | F |
| O clock of time O clock of fate | E |
| - | |
| She heard the moon's glad sound of cheer | G |
| The hiss the whirl the crash the creak | H |
| Of maddened wheels the awful shriek | H |
| Of awestruck men she did not hear | I |
| - | |
| She lightly tripped about the room | J |
| And near the window where his eyes | K |
| Might greet it with a pleased surprise | K |
| She placed a pot of fragrant bloom | J |
| - | |
| Strange nervous steps were at the gate | E |
| Why grew her heart so cold so numb | L |
| The clock struck twelve the noon had come | L |
| Ah noon of time O noon of fate | E |
| - | |
| A shattered vase beside the wall | M |
| A young face grey with awful fear | G |
| A rigid shape a covered bier | I |
| A shadowed life and that is all | M |
