Love Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLIIMNOPQO RFBSTUVOIMTwice I awoke this night and went | A |
to the window The streetlamps were | B |
a fragment of a sentence spoken in sleep | C |
leading to nothing like omission points | D |
affording me no comfort and no cheer | E |
I dreamt of you with child and now | F |
having lived so many years apart from you | G |
experienced my guilt and my hands | H |
joyfully stroking your belly | I |
found they were fumbling at my trousers | J |
and the light switch Shuffling to the window | K |
I realized I had left you there alone | L |
in the dark in the dream where patiently | I |
you waited and did not blame me | I |
when I returned for the unnatural | M |
interruption For in the dark | N |
that which in the light has broken off lasts | O |
there we are married wedded we play | P |
the two backed beast and children | Q |
justify our nakedness | O |
On some future night you will again | R |
come to me tired thin now | F |
and I shall see a son or daughter | B |
as yet unnamed this time I'll | S |
not hurry to the light switch nor | T |
will I remove my hand because I've not the right | U |
to leave you in that realm of silent | V |
shadows before the fence of days | O |
falling into dependence from a reality | I |
containing me unattainable | M |
