Waiting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG DHDH| HE is coming he is coming in my throbbing breast I feel it | A |
| There is music in my blood and it whispers all day long | B |
| That my love unknown comes toward me Ah my heart he need not steal it ' | C |
| For I cannot hide the secret that it murmurs in its song | B |
| - | |
| O the sweet bursting flowers how they open never blushing | D |
| Laying bare their fragrant bosoms to the kisses of the sun | E |
| And the birds I thought 'twas poets only read their tender gushing | D |
| But I hear their pleading stories and I know them every one | E |
| - | |
| 'He is coming ' says my heart I may raise my eyes and greet him | F |
| I may meet him any moment shall I know him when I see | G |
| And my heart laughs back the answer I can tell him when I meet him | F |
| For our eyes will kiss and mingle ere he speaks a word to me | G |
| - | |
| O I'm longing for his coming in the dark my arms outreaching | D |
| To hasten you my love see I lay my bosom bare | H |
| Ah the night wind I shudder and my hands are raised beseeching | D |
| It wailed so light a death sigh that passed me in the air | H |
