The Old Lowe House, Staten Island Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEFD| Another prospect pleased the builder's eye | A |
| And Fashion tenanted where Fashion wanes | B |
| Here in the sorrowful suburban lanes | B |
| When first these gables rose against the sky | A |
| Relic of a romantic taste gone by | A |
| This stately monument alone remains | B |
| Vacant with lichened walls and window panes | B |
| Blank as the windows of a skull But I | A |
| On evenings when autumnal winds have stirred | C |
| In the porch vines to this gray oracle | D |
| Have laid a wondering ear and oft times heard | C |
| As from the hollow of a stranded shell | E |
| Old voices echoing or my fancy erred | F |
| Things indistinct but not insensible | D |
