By Her White Bed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDF| By her white bed I muse a little space | A |
| She fell asleep not very long ago | B |
| And yet the grass was here and not the snow | B |
| The leaf the bud the blossom and her face | A |
| Midsummer's heaven above us and the grace | A |
| Of Lovers own day from dawn to afterglow | B |
| The fireflies' glimmering and the sweet and low | B |
| Plaint of the whip poor wills and every place | A |
| In thicker twilight for the roses' scent | C |
| Then night She slept in such tranquility | D |
| I walk atiptoe still nor dare to weep | E |
| Feeling in all this hush she rests content | C |
| That though God stood to wake her for me she | D |
| Would mutely plead 'Nay Lord Let him so sleep ' | F |
