My Grandmother's Love Letters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGHIJK LMNN O PQERS TTIF| There are no stars to night | A |
| But those of memory | B |
| Yet how much room for memory there is | C |
| In the loose girdle of soft rain | D |
| - | |
| There is even room enough | E |
| For the letters of my mother's mother | F |
| Elizabeth | G |
| That have been pressed so long | H |
| Into a corner of the roof | I |
| That they are brown and soft | J |
| And liable to melt as snow | K |
| - | |
| Over the greatness of such space | L |
| Steps must be gentle | M |
| It is all hung by an invisible white hair | N |
| It trembles as birch limbs webbing the air | N |
| - | |
| And I ask myself | O |
| - | |
| 'Are your fingers long enough to play | P |
| Old keys that are but echoes | Q |
| Is the silence strong enough | E |
| To carry back the music to its source | R |
| And back to you again | S |
| As though to her ' | - |
| - | |
| Yet I would lead my grandmother by the hand | T |
| Through much of what she would not understand | T |
| And so I stumble And the rain continues on the roof | I |
| With such a sound of gently pitying laughter | F |
