Gray Nights Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEDEF| A while we wandered thus it is I dream | A |
| Through a long sandy track of No Man's Land | B |
| Where only poppies grew among the sand | B |
| The which we plucking cast with scant esteem | A |
| And ever sadlier into the sad stream | A |
| Which followed us as we went hand in hand | B |
| Under the estrang egrave d stars a road unplanned | B |
| Seeing all things in the shadow of a dream | A |
| - | |
| And ever sadlier as the stars expired | C |
| We found the poppies rarer till thine eyes | D |
| Grown all my light to light me were too tired | E |
| And at their darkening that no surmise | D |
| Might haunt me of the lost days we desired | E |
| After them all I flung those memories | F |
