A Broken Appointment Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCBCAA DEBFBFED| You did not come | A |
| And marching Time drew on and wore me numb | A |
| Yet less for loss of your dear presence there | B |
| Than that I thus found lacking in your make | C |
| That high compassion which can overbear | B |
| Reluctance for pure loving kindness' sake | C |
| Grieved I when as the hope hour stroked its sum | A |
| You did not come | A |
| - | |
| You love me not | D |
| And love alone can lend you loyalty | E |
| I know and knew it But unto the store | B |
| Of human deeds divine in all but name | F |
| Was it not worth a little hour or more | B |
| To add yet this Once you a woman came | F |
| To soothe a time torn man even though it be | E |
| You love me not | D |
