Without You Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBD EFGHIJKLMDI ANCBO A| My Pillow gazes upon me at night | A |
| Empty as a gravestone | B |
| I never thought it would be so bitter | C |
| To be alone | B |
| Not to lie down asleep in your hair | D |
| - | |
| I lie alone in a silent house | E |
| The hanging lamp darkened | F |
| And gently stretch out my hands | G |
| To gather in yours | H |
| And softly press my warm mouth | I |
| Toward you and kiss myself exhausted and weak | J |
| Then suddenly I'm awake | K |
| And all around me the cold night grows still | L |
| The star in the window shines clearly | M |
| Where is your blond hair | D |
| Where your sweet mouth | I |
| - | |
| Now I drink pain in every delight | A |
| And poison in every wine | N |
| I never knew it would be so bitter | C |
| To be alone | B |
| Alone without you | O |
