To-morrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABACC DEEDFG HIIHJK LGGLMM NOONPP QNNQRR STUSVV WXXWYYBut one short night between my Love and me | A |
I watch the soft shod dusk creep wistfully | A |
Through the slow moving curtains pausing by | B |
And shrouding with its spirit fingers free | A |
Each well known chair There is a growing grace | C |
Of tender magic in this little place | C |
- | |
Comes through half opened windows soft and cool | D |
As Spring's young breath the vagrant evening air | E |
My day worn soul is hushed I fain would bear | E |
No burdens on my brain to night no rule | D |
Of anxious thought the world has had my tears | F |
My thoughts my hopes my aims these many years | G |
- | |
This is Thy hour and I shall sink to sleep | H |
With a glad weariness to know that when | I |
The new day dawns I shall lay by my pen | I |
Needed no more If I perchance should weep | H |
A few quick tears so doing who would guess | J |
'Twas the last throb of my soul's loneliness | K |
- | |
Not even thou Dear Heart canst ever know | L |
How I have yearned these many months these years | G |
For love for thee As the calm boatman steers | G |
His slender shallop where he fain would go | L |
Tempests and rocks before so through the dark | M |
To this dim far off day has set my bark | M |
- | |
To morrow I can hear the quick closed door | N |
The approaching steps my pained heart's fluttering | O |
Thy voice then Thee And all the storm and sting | O |
Of bygone griefs are passed forevermore | N |
Swept from my life as the resistless wind | P |
Scatters the chaff nor leaves a mote behind | P |
- | |
As long imprisoned captives reach the light | Q |
And gaze with greedy eyes on field and tree | N |
Drinking the beauties of the sky and sea | N |
Half fearful of their bliss so from the night | Q |
Of dreams and shades half doubting we awake | R |
And grasp the joy we almost fear to take | R |
- | |
Thou hidest in thy warm ones my cold hand | S |
Reading my soul in these unwavering eyes | T |
Nay thou hast known my hopes my agonies | U |
Through written words and thou canst understand | S |
I have kept nothing back of all the streams | V |
Of my heart flowings doubts nor fears nor dreams | V |
- | |
So long my life has followed no control | W |
But mine own impulse now I pray thee bend | X |
My will to thine and so unhindered tend | X |
My soul's wild garden I have laid the whole | W |
Bare to thy sowing and life's precious wine | Y |
Is of thy pouring and thy way is mine | Y |
