All Day She Quiet Lay Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB CDCD CCEC CFCGAll day she quiet lay lost in a trance | A |
The closing shadows all of her embracing | B |
The madcap rain of summer frisked and pranced | C |
At leaves it drummed down garden paths went racing | B |
- | |
And slowly slowly she revived and sought | C |
To hear its voice its warm and merry patter | D |
Withdrawn she lay plunged deep in conscious thought | C |
And listened to the rushing singing water | D |
- | |
Then suddenly she sighed and spoke I heard | C |
I was alive alive through force of habit | C |
The softly whispered simple broken words | E |
O how I loved it all O how I loved it | C |
- | |
You loved To love so well none ever durst | C |
Then even such love fades to be it ceases | F |
To watch you die and live How did my heart not burst | C |
Not break O God into a thousand pieces | G |
