To A Dead Lover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCA CDEEE FGEHGF CCIJCKL ECCEMC

The dark is thrownA
Back from the brightness like hairB
Cast over a shoulderC
I am aloneA
-
Four years olderC
Like the chairs and the wallsD
Which I once watched brightenE
With you beside me I was to wakenE
Never like this whatever came or was takenE
-
The stalk grows the year beats on the windF
Apples come and the month for their fallG
The bark spreads the roots tightenE
Though today be the lastH
Or tomorrow allG
You will not mindF
-
That I may not rememberC
Does not matterC
I shall not be with you againI
What we knew even nowJ
Must scatterC
And be ruined and blowK
Like dust in the rainL
-
You have been dead a long seasonE
And have less than desireC
Who were lover with loverC
And I have life that old reasonE
To wait for what comesM
To leave what is overC
