When She Comes Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAAAAAADADAA| When she comes home again A thousand ways | A |
| I fashion to myself the tenderness | B |
| Of my glad welcome I shall tremble yes | C |
| And touch her as when first in the old days | A |
| I touched her girlish hand nor dared upraise | A |
| Mine eyes such was my faint heart's sweet distress | A |
| Then silence And the perfume of her dress | A |
| The room will sway a little and a haze | A |
| Cloy eyesight soulsight even for a space | A |
| And tears yes and the ache here in the throat | D |
| To know that I so ill deserve the place | A |
| Her arms make for me and the sobbing note | D |
| I stay with kisses ere the tearful face | A |
| Again is hidden in the old embrace | A |
