Happiness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMN MOPQMGRS

A man and a woman lie on a white bedA
It is morning I thinkB
Soon they will wakenC
On the bedside table is a vaseD
of lilies sunlightE
pools in their throatsF
I watch him turn to herG
as though to speak her nameH
but silently deep in her mouthI
At the window ledgeJ
once twiceK
a bird callsL
And then she stirs her bodyM
fills with his breathN
-
I open my eyes you are watching meM
Almost over this roomO
the sun is glidingP
Look at your face you sayQ
holding your own close to meM
to make a mirrorG
How calm you are And the burning wheelR
passes gently over usS
