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