The Sisters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCA DEECA FGHHIA| In the vine shadows on the veranda | A |
| under the yellow leaves in the cooling sun | B |
| sit two sisters Their slow voices run | B |
| like little winter creeks dwindled by frost and wind | C |
| and the square of sunlight moves on the veranda | A |
| - | |
| They remember the gay young men on their tall horses | D |
| who came courting the dancing and the smells of leather | E |
| and wine the girls whispering by the fire together | E |
| even their dolls and ponies all they have left behind | C |
| moves in the yellow shadows on the veranda | A |
| - | |
| Thinking of their lives apart and the men they married | F |
| thinking of the marriage bed and the birth of their first | G |
| child | H |
| they look down smiling My life was wide and wild | H |
| and who can know my heart There in that golden jungle | I |
| I walk alone say the old sisters on the veranda | A |
