Gray Nights Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEDEFA 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 |
