Time 2 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBADEDDEF| Wait for the morning Ah We wait indeed | A |
| For daylight we who toss about through stress | B |
| Of vacant armed desires and emptiness | C |
| Of all the warm warm touches that we need | A |
| And the warm kisses upon which we feed | A |
| Our famished lips in fancy May God bless | B |
| The starved lips of us with but one caress | B |
| Warm as the yearning blood our poor hearts bleed | A |
| A wild prayer Bite thy pillow praying so | D |
| Toss this side and whirl that and moan for dawn | E |
| Let the clock's seconds dribble out their woe | D |
| And Time be drained of sorrow Long ago | D |
| We heard the crowing cock with answer drawn | E |
| As hoarsely sad at throat as sobs Pray on | F |
