To Emily Dickinson Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDC EFEFGG| Dear Emily my tears would burn your page | A |
| But for the fire dry line that makes them burn | B |
| Burning my eyes my fingers while I turn | B |
| Singly the words that crease my heart with age | A |
| If I could make some tortured pilgrimage | C |
| Through words or Time or the blank pain of Doom | D |
| And kneel before you as you found your tomb | D |
| Then I might rise to face my heritage | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| Yours was an empty upland solitude | E |
| Bleached to the powder of a dying name | F |
| The mind lost in a word s lost certitude | E |
| That faded as the fading footsteps came | F |
| To trace an epilogue to words grown odd | G |
| In that hard argument which led to God | G |
