A Memory (from A Sonnet-sequence) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAAAA CDAEDEF| Somewhile before the dawn I rose and stept | A |
| Softly along the dim way to your room | B |
| And found you sleeping in the quiet gloom | B |
| And holiness about you as you slept | A |
| I knelt there till your waking fingers crept | A |
| About my head and held it I had rest | A |
| Unhoped this side of Heaven beneath your breast | A |
| I knelt a long time still nor even wept | A |
| - | |
| It was great wrong you did me and for gain | C |
| Of that poor moment's kindliness and ease | D |
| And sleepy mother comfort | A |
| Child you know | E |
| How easily love leaps out to dreams like these | D |
| Who has seen them true And love that's wakened so | E |
| Takes all too long to lay asleep again | F |
