Waiting Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCDEFGHB IJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZLAfield at Dusk | A |
- | |
What things for dream there are when spectre like | B |
Moving among tall haycocks lightly piled | C |
I enter alone upon the stubble field | D |
From which the laborers voices late have died | E |
And in the antiphony of afterglow | F |
And rising full moon sit me down | G |
Upon the full moon s side of the first haycock | H |
And lose myself amid so many alike | B |
- | |
I dream upon the opposing lights of the hour | I |
Preventing shadow until the moon prevail | J |
I dream upon the night hawks peopling heaven | K |
Each circling each with vague unearthly cry | L |
Or plunging headlong with fierce twang afar | M |
And on the bat s mute antics who would seem | N |
Dimly to have made out my secret place | O |
Only to lose it when he pirouettes | P |
And seek it endlessly with purblind haste | Q |
On the last swallow s sweep and on the rasp | R |
In the abyss of odor and rustle at my back | S |
That silenced by my advent finds once more | T |
After an interval his instrument | U |
And tries once twice and thrice if I be there | V |
And on the worn book of old golden song | W |
I brought not here to read it seems but hold | X |
And freshen in this air of withering sweetness | Y |
But on the memory of one absent most | Z |
For whom these lines when they shall greet her eye | L |
