The Door And The Window Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FEGHI BJCJ| My love you are timely come let me lie by your heart | A |
| For waking in the dark this morning I woke to that mystery | B |
| Which we can all wake to at some dark time or another | C |
| Waking to find the room not as I thought it was | D |
| But the window further away and the door in another direction | E |
| - | |
| This was not home and you were far away | F |
| And I woke sick and held by another passion | E |
| In the icy grip of a dead tormenting flame | G |
| Consumed by the night watched by the door and the window | H |
| On a bed of stone waiting for the day to bring you | I |
| - | |
| The door has opened and can you at last beside me | B |
| Drive under the day that frozen and faithless darkness | J |
| With its unseen torments flickering which neither | C |
| The dearest look nor the longest kiss assuages | J |
