Some Hurt Thing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGBCDHFIJKLMNAJ OLGNDD| I came to you quietly when you were lying | A |
| In perfect midnight sleep | B |
| Your dark soft hair was all about your pillow | C |
| So black upon the white | D |
| I could not see your face except the lovely | E |
| Curve of the pale cheek | F |
| Your head was bent as though your stirless slumber | G |
| Was sea like heavy and deep | B |
| The wind came gently in at the wide window | C |
| Shaking the candle light | D |
| And shadows on the wall and there was silence | H |
| Or sound but far and weak | F |
| By the bedside your daytime toys were gathered | I |
| The bright bell ringing wheel | J |
| Dolls clad in violent yellow and vermilion | K |
| Strings of gay coloured beads | L |
| But you were far and far from these beside you | M |
| Entranced with other joys | N |
| In fresh fields among other children running | A |
| Your voice I knew must peal | J |
| Purely among their high unearthly voices | O |
| Over green daisied meads | L |
| While I stood watching your scarce heaving slumber | G |
| Beside your human toys | N |
| And heard faint from the woods all through the night | D |
| The cry of some hurt thing that moaned for light | D |
