A Rainy Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCC DDDEEFFGGHH HIJKILLFMNNOOPQMF| The beauty of this rainy day | A |
| All silver green and dripping gray | A |
| Has stolen quite my heart away | A |
| From all the tasks I meant to do | B |
| Made me forget the resolute blue | B |
| And energetic gold of things | C |
| So soft a song the rain bird sings | C |
| - | |
| Yet am I glad to miss awhile | D |
| The sun's huge domineering smile | D |
| The busy spaces mile on mile | D |
| Shut in behind this shimmering screen | E |
| Of falling pearls and phantom green | E |
| As in a cloister walled with rain | F |
| Safe from intrusions voices vain | F |
| And hurry of invading feet | G |
| Inviolate in my retreat | G |
| Myself my books my pipe my fire | H |
| So runs my rainy day desire | H |
| - | |
| Or I old letters may con o'er | H |
| And dream on faces seen no more | I |
| The buried treasure of the years | J |
| Too visionary now for tears | K |
| Open old cupboards and explore | I |
| Sometimes for an old sweetheart's sake | L |
| A delicate romantic ache | L |
| Sometimes a swifter pang of pain | F |
| To read old tenderness again | M |
| As though the ink were scarce yet dry | N |
| And She still She and I still I | N |
| What if I were to write as though | O |
| Her letter came an hour ago | O |
| An hour ago This post mark says | P |
| But out upon these rainy days | Q |
| Come tie the packet up again | M |
| The sun is back enough of rain | F |
