Imogen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBBECFGBHIJKBLBCC BECM| Even she too dead all languor on her brow | A |
| All mute humanity's last simpleness | B |
| And yet the roses in her cheeks unfallen | C |
| Can death haunt silence with a silver sound | D |
| Can death that hushes all music to a close | B |
| Pluck one sweet wire scarce audible that trembles | B |
| As if a little child called Purity | E |
| Sang heedlessly on of his dear Imogen | C |
| Surely if some young flowers of Spring were put | F |
| Into the tender hollow of her heart | G |
| 'Twould faintly answer trembling in their petals | B |
| Poise but a wild bird's feather it will stir | H |
| On lips that even in silence wear the badge | I |
| Only of truth Let but a cricket wake | J |
| And sing of home and bid her lids unseal | K |
| The unspeakable hospitality of her eyes | B |
| O childless soul call once her husband's name | L |
| And even if indeed from these green hills | B |
| Of England far her spirit flits forlorn | C |
| Back to its youthful mansion it will turn | C |
| Back to the floods of sorrow these sweet locks | B |
| Yet heavy bear in drops and Night shall see | E |
| Unwearying as her stars still Imogen | C |
| Pausing 'twixt death and life on one hushed word | M |
