Convalescence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBCDEDFDG| When I am in the Orient once again | A |
| And turn into the gay and squalid street | B |
| One side in the shadow one in vivid heat | B |
| The thought of England fresh beneath the rain | C |
| Will rise unbidden as a gently pain | C |
| The lonely hours of illness as they beat | B |
| Crawling through days with slow laborious feet | B |
| And I lay gazing through the leaded pane | C |
| Idle and listened to the swallows' cry | D |
| After the flitting insect swiftly caught | E |
| Those all too leisured hours as they went by | D |
| Stamped as their heritage upon my thought | F |
| The memory of a square of summer sky | D |
| Jagged by the gables of a Gothic court | G |
