In The Vaulted Way Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAB CDDCD EFFEF| In the vaulted way where the passage turned | A |
| To the shadowy corner that none could see | B |
| You paused for our parting plaintively | B |
| Though overnight had come words that burned | A |
| My fond frail happiness out of me | B |
| - | |
| And then I kissed you despite my thought | C |
| That our spell must end when reflection came | D |
| On what you had deemed me whose one long aim | D |
| Had been to serve you that what I sought | C |
| Lay not in a heart that could breathe such blame | D |
| - | |
| But yet I kissed you whereon you again | E |
| As of old kissed me Why why was it so | F |
| Do you cleave to me after that light tongued blow | F |
| If you scorned me at eventide how love then | E |
| The thing is dark Dear I do not know | F |
