She Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEE FFGHIJ HKLL

I think the dead are tender Shall we kissA
My lady laughs delighting in what isB
If she but sighs a bird puts out its tongueC
She makes space lonely with a lovely songD
She lilts a low soft language and I hearE
Down long sea chambers of the inner earE
-
We sing together we sing mouth to mouthF
The garden is a river flowing southF
She cries out loud the soul's own secret joyG
She dances and the ground bears her awayH
She knows the speech of light and makes it plainI
A lively thing can come to life againJ
-
I feel her presence in the common dayH
In that slow dark that widens every eyeK
She moves as water moves and comes to meL
Stayed by what was and pulled by what would beL
