The Waiting Watchers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDBAEFGHIJJKLMBNO N| They shall come in the black weathers | A |
| From the heart of the dead embers | A |
| Walking one and two over the hill | B |
| And they shall be with you never farther | C |
| Than your bedside | D |
| At their will | B |
| The smell of putrefaction lingers | A |
| And floor is carpetted with rotting hair | E |
| Or sheets are torn to shreds | F |
| By the beaks of dead dry birds | G |
| And the red blood clots in your cup | H |
| Put up your swords | I |
| What steel can cut the throat of next year's dream | J |
| What tongue is tunes to speak last night's quick scream | J |
| Go alone by darkness | K |
| Burn the clippings of your nail | L |
| Donate a thousand candles | M |
| But do as you will | B |
| When sun is blind and lamps are lit once more | N |
| Two and one they shall be standing | O |
| At your door | N |
