A Memory (from A Sonnet- Sequence) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAAAA CDAEDEFSomewhile 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 |
