The Rainy Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDED FGFGBBHB FAFAIBJB| The dawn of the day was dreary | A |
| And the lowering clouds o'erhead | B |
| Wept in a silent sorrow | C |
| Where the sweet sunshine lay dead | B |
| And a wind came out of the eastward | B |
| Like an endless sigh of pain | D |
| And the leaves fell down in the pathway | E |
| And writhed in the falling rain | D |
| - | |
| I had tried in a brave endeavor | F |
| To chord my harp with the sun | G |
| But the strings would slacken ever | F |
| And the task was a weary one | G |
| And so like a child impatient | B |
| And sick of a discontent | B |
| I bowed in a shower of tear drops | H |
| And mourned with the instrument | B |
| - | |
| And lo as I bowed the splendor | F |
| Of the sun bent over me | A |
| With a touch as warm and tender | F |
| As a father's hand might be | A |
| And even as I felt its presence | I |
| My clouded soul grew bright | B |
| And the tears like the rain of morning | J |
| Melted in mists of light | B |
