To Dorothy Wellesley Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHIJHKLMLN| Stretch towards the moonless midnight of the trees | A |
| As though that hand could reach to where they stand | B |
| And they but famous old upholsteries | A |
| Delightful to the touch tighten that hand | B |
| As though to draw them closer yet | C |
| Rammed full | D |
| Of that most sensuous silence of the night | E |
| For since the horizon's bought strange dogs are still | F |
| Climb to your chamber full of books and wait | G |
| No books upon the knee and no one there | H |
| But a Great Dane that cannot bay the moon | I |
| And now lies sunk in sleep | J |
| What climbs the stair | H |
| Nothing that common women ponder on | K |
| If you are worrh my hope Neither Content | L |
| Nor satisfied Conscience but that great family | M |
| Some ancient famous authors mistepresent | L |
| The proud Furies each with her torch on high | N |
