The Shadow-third Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEBGHGAIJIKLML| THEY met in the old conventional way | A |
| And married and that was the end | B |
| Of a little matter that touched three hearts | C |
| A girl a man and his friend | B |
| You see when he saw her great blue eyes | D |
| The love of his life began | E |
| And well it was money the woman craved | F |
| Not flesh and blood and a man | E |
| She married for money her lover's friend | B |
| And thus it came to be | G |
| That the man went out of life one night | H |
| As a wind goes out to sea | G |
| She did not smile nor sorrow they say | A |
| She showed no sign of care | I |
| But ever since 'twixt the wedded twain | J |
| There stands a vacant chair | I |
| And when they stroll through the street at times | K |
| Or pace some garden green | L |
| They walk so spaced it will seem to you | M |
| That a man might walk between | L |
