I Looked Up From My Writing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH AIAI BJBJ| I looked up from my writing | A |
| And gave a start to see | B |
| As if rapt in my inditing | A |
| The moon's full gaze on me | B |
| - | |
| Her meditative misty head | C |
| Was spectral in its air | D |
| And I involuntarily said | C |
| What are you doing there | D |
| - | |
| Oh I've been scanning pond and hole | E |
| And waterway hereabout | F |
| For the body of one with a sunken soul | E |
| Who has put his life light out | F |
| - | |
| Did you hear his frenzied tattle | G |
| It was sorrow for his son | H |
| Who is slain in brutish battle | G |
| Though he has injured none | H |
| - | |
| And now I am curious to look | A |
| Into the blinkered mind | I |
| Of one who wants to write a book | A |
| In a world of such a kind | I |
| - | |
| Her temper overwrought me | B |
| And I edged to shun her view | J |
| For I felt assured she thought me | B |
| One who should drown him too | J |
