The Missed Train Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBC DEED FGGF HIIH JKKJ| How I was caught | A |
| Hieing home after days of allure | B |
| And driven to an inn small obscure | B |
| At the junction fret fraught | C |
| - | |
| How civil my face | D |
| To get them to chamber me there | E |
| A roof I had passed scarce aware | E |
| That it stood at the place | D |
| - | |
| And how all the night | F |
| I had dreams of the unwitting cause | G |
| Of my lodgment How lonely I was | G |
| How consoled by her sprite | F |
| - | |
| Thus onetime to me | H |
| Dim wastes of dead years bar away | I |
| Then from now But the like haps to day | I |
| To young lovers may be | H |
| - | |
| Years years as gray seas | J |
| Truly stretch now between Less and less | K |
| Shrink the visions then great in me Yes | K |
| Then in me Now in these | J |
