Tired Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADED FGHIJKDK HLMLNOPO| I am tired to night and something | A |
| The wind maybe or the rain | B |
| Or the cry of a bird in the copse outside | C |
| Has brought back the past and its pain | B |
| And I feel as I sit here thinking | A |
| That the hand of a dead old June | D |
| Has reached out hold of my heart s loose strings | E |
| And is drawing them up in tune | D |
| - | |
| I am tired to night and I miss you | F |
| And long for you love through tears | G |
| And it seems but to day that I saw you go | H |
| You who have been gone for years | I |
| And I seem to be newly lonely | J |
| I who am so much alone | K |
| And the strings of my heart are well in tune | D |
| But they have not the same old tone | K |
| - | |
| I am tired and that old sorrow | H |
| Sweeps down the bed of my soul | L |
| As a turbulent river might suddenly break | M |
| Away from a dam s control | L |
| It beareth a wreck on its bosom | N |
| A wreck with a snow white sail | O |
| And the hand on my heart strings thrums away | P |
| But they only respond with a wail | O |
