The Tie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHBBII JKLLEEMDNNMD| Coloured like Atlantic wave | A |
| To whose curve the bright air gave | A |
| Splendour and the unfathomed blue | B |
| Mystery of nameless hue | B |
| If to others you but shine | C |
| As a plait of silken twine | C |
| In your rich threads live for me | D |
| Chosen hours of Cicely | D |
| Here her fingers have inwrought | E |
| Fancies of her changing thought | E |
| Sometimes smooth as running stream | F |
| Sudden now in wayward gleam | F |
| Reverie at some instant broken | G |
| Look the pretty gap that's token | G |
| Dear to me because you came | H |
| Not mechanically tame | H |
| But with impulses anew | B |
| Quickened as the colour grew | B |
| Out of laughter or surprise | I |
| Shining from her lifted eyes | I |
| Hovering fears without a cause | J |
| Soothed in some enchanted pause | K |
| Or those silences that sing | L |
| When happy thoughts go wandering | L |
| Here her forehead earnest bent | E |
| O'er her busy hands' intent | E |
| And the wavering threads reply | M |
| With a frolic mutiny | D |
| O in you she wrought so much | N |
| As my fingers thrill to touch | N |
| Round my neck a blue charm lie | M |
| Breathing thoughts of Cicely | D |
