Waiting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHIJKLEE| Rich in the waning light she sat | A |
| While the fierce rain on the window spat | A |
| The yellow lamp glow lit her face | B |
| Shadows cloaked the narrow place | B |
| She sat adream in Then she'd look | C |
| Idly upon an idle book | C |
| Anon would rise and musing peer | D |
| Out at the misty street and drear | D |
| Or with her loosened dark hair play | E |
| Hiding her fingers' snow away | E |
| And singing softly would sing on | F |
| When the desire of song had gone | G |
| O lingering day her bosom sighed | H |
| O laggard Time each motion cried | H |
| Last she took the lamp and stood | I |
| Rich in its flood | J |
| And looked and looked again at what | K |
| Her longing fingers' zeal had wrought | L |
| And turning then did nothing say | E |
| Hiding her thoughts away | E |
