My Shy Hand Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG| My shy hand shades a hermitage apart | A |
| O large enough for thee and thy brief hours | B |
| Life there is sweeter held than in God's heart | A |
| Stiller than in the heavens of hollow flowers | B |

| The wine is gladder there than in gold bowls | C |
| And Time shall not drain thence nor trouble spill | D |
| Sources between my fingers feed all souls | C |
| Where thou mayest cool thy lips and draw thy fill | D |

| Five cushions hath my hand for reveries | E |
| And one deep pillow for thy brow's fatigues | F |
| Languor of June all winterlong and ease | E |
| For ever from the vain untravelled leagues | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| Thither your years may gather in from storm | G |
| And Love that sleepeth there will keep thee warm | G |
