Bird on a Bough
#3
Thank you, Donald.  The poem is meant to be a man begging forgiveness for being unfaithful.  Based on what you said, I've already restored the original first stanza which has an off-rhyme between lines 1 and 4 (the other stanzas rhyme 2 and 4):

Dear, save your words until the morn.
   Now, let only the walls
speak their uneven memories;
   just hold me, as before.

It's better, I think, to lose the pattern in one stanza than to use words that don't make sense.

I'll think about the other things you said.
