In Vain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE FGHI JFKF| I knocked upon thy door ajar | A |
| While yet the woods with buds were grey | B |
| Nought but a little child I heard | C |
| Warbling at break of day | B |
| - | |
| I knocked when June had lured her rose | D |
| To mask the sharpness of its thorn | E |
| Knocked yet again heard only yet | F |
| Thee singing of the morn | E |
| - | |
| The frail convolvulus had wreathed | F |
| Its cup but the faint flush of eve | G |
| Lingered upon thy Western wall | H |
| Thou hadst no word to give | I |
| - | |
| Once yet I came the winter stars | J |
| Above thy house wheeled wildly bright | F |
| Footsore I stood before thy door | K |
| Wide open into night | F |
