Loneliness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABAA AACAAC| Now it is Loneliness who comes at night | A |
| Instead of Sleep to sit beside my bed | B |
| Like a tired child I lie and wait her tread | B |
| I watch her softly blowing out the light | A |
| Motionless sitting neither left or right | A |
| She turns and weary weary droops her head | B |
| She too is old she too has fought the fight | A |
| So with the laurel she is garlanded | A |
| - | |
| Through the sad dark the slowly ebbing tide | A |
| Breaks on a barren shore unsatisfied | A |
| A strange wind flows then silence I am fain | C |
| To turn to Loneliness to take her hand | A |
| Cling to her waiting till the barren land | A |
| Fills with the dreadful monotone of rain | C |
