The Tunnel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG| Sitting with strangers in the hurrying train | A |
| We spoke not to each other Golden May | B |
| Flooded those warm fields greener from the rain | A |
| Then sudden darkness stole it all away | B |
| - | |
| Her face was gone but on the dark I framed | C |
| Its features to my fancy's utmost height | D |
| And with love's utmost fondness never named | C |
| Painted the image of my life's delight | D |
| - | |
| But lo a gleam the window's edge outlined | E |
| And beautifully dawning through the gloom | F |
| She came back O how much more than my mind | E |
| Had pictured triumphing in breath and bloom | F |
| - | |
| Then I ashamed gave thanks with joy I knew | G |
| That my best dream was bettered by the true | G |
