On The Death Of An Old Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A B C D E F G H I C F J| Often I listen full of horror at the door | A |
| - | |
| And when I arrive it seems to me that someone fled | B |
| - | |
| And her eyes see past me | C |
| - | |
| Dreamily as if they would see me elsewhere | D |
| - | |
| Thus she sits completely stooped in herself and listens | E |
| - | |
| And seems far off from the things around her | F |
| - | |
| However she trembles when noise rushes at the window | G |
| - | |
| And then cries still just like an anxious child | H |
| - | |
| And caresses her white hair with tired hand | I |
| - | |
| And asks with paled glance Must I go already | C |
| - | |
| And has a crazy fever The little light in the altar | F |
| - | |
| Went out Where do you go What has happened | J |
