Bereft Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCC DCDC CDCD ACACCCCC| In the black winter morning | A |
| No light will be struck near my eyes | B |
| While the clock in the stairway is warning | A |
| For five when he used to rise | B |
| Leave the door unbarred | C |
| The clock unwound | C |
| Make my lone bed hard | C |
| Would 'twere underground | C |
| - | |
| When the summer dawns clearly | D |
| And the appletree tops seem alight | C |
| Who will undraw the curtain and cheerly | D |
| Call out that the morning is bright | C |
| - | |
| When I tarry at market | C |
| No form will cross Durnover Lea | D |
| In the gathering darkness to hark at | C |
| Grey's Bridge for the pit pat o' me | D |
| - | |
| When the supper crock's steaming | A |
| And the time is the time of his tread | C |
| I shall sit by the fire and wait dreaming | A |
| In a silence as of the dead | C |
| Leave the door unbarred | C |
| The clock unwound | C |
| Make my lone bed hard | C |
| Would 'twere underground | C |
