Waking Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGFGF| ABOVE us hangs the jewelled night | A |
| And how her restful cool caresses | B |
| Make us forget the weary sight | A |
| Of summer s daily wildernesses | B |
| O aching toil and hope deferred | C |
| The night has made a promise to me | D |
| She whispered and a wonder stirred | C |
| And still the joy is thrilling through me | D |
| Smooth water shadow deeply still | E |
| I dare not move you wait unsleeping | F |
| You share the breathless hopes that fill | E |
| The watch my longing soul is keeping | F |
| A fish is leaping in the bay | G |
| The shafts of yellow light are shaking | F |
| O glorious night and happy day | G |
| Beneath my silent heart she s waking | F |
