Love The Monopolist - Young Lover's Reverie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCB DEFECE GHIHBH BJBJKL MNMNBB O| The train draws forth from the station yard | A |
| And with it carries me | B |
| I rise and stretch out and regard | A |
| The platform left and see | B |
| An airy slim blue form there standing | C |
| And know that it is she | B |
| - | |
| While with strained vision I watch on | D |
| The figure turns round quite | E |
| To greet friends gaily then is gone | F |
| The import may be slight | E |
| But why remained she not hard gazing | C |
| Till I was out of sight | E |
| - | |
| O do not chat with others there | G |
| I brood They are not I | H |
| O strain your thoughts as if they were | I |
| Gold bands between us eye | H |
| All neighbour scenes as so much blankness | B |
| Till I again am by | H |
| - | |
| A troubled soughing in the breeze | B |
| And the sky overhead | J |
| Let yourself feel and shadeful trees | B |
| Ripe corn and apples red | J |
| Read as things barren and distasteful | K |
| While we are separated | L |
| - | |
| When I come back uncloak your gloom | M |
| And let in lovely day | N |
| Then the long dark as of the tomb | M |
| Can well be thrust away | N |
| With sweet things I shall have to practise | B |
| And you will have to say | B |
| - | |
| Begun finished | O |
