Parted Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDE EFGFHGIIJJKKLL| Sleepless I listen to the surge and drone | A |
| And drifting roar of the town's undertone | A |
| Till through quiet falling rain I hear the bells | B |
| Tolling and chiming their brief tune that tells | B |
| Day's midnight end And from the day that's over | C |
| No flashes of delight I can recover | C |
| But only dreary winter streets and faces | D |
| Of people moving in loud clanging places | D |
| And I in my loneliness longing for you | E |
| - | |
| For all I did to day and all I'll do | E |
| To morrow in this city of intense | F |
| Arteried activities that throb and strive | G |
| Is but a beating down of that suspense | F |
| Which holds me from your arms | H |
| I am alive | G |
| Only that I may find you at the end | I |
| Of these slow striking hours I toil to spend | I |
| Putting each one behind me knowing but this | J |
| That all my days are turning toward your kiss | J |
| That all expectancy awaits the deep | K |
| Consoling passion of your eyes that keep | K |
| Their radiance for my coming and their peace | L |
| For when I find in you my love's release | L |
