Without You Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBD EFGHIJKLMDI ANCBO AMy 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 |
