The Old House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EBEB FGFG| In through the porch and up the silent stair | A |
| Little is changed I know so well the ways | B |
| Here the dead came to meet me it was there | A |
| The dream was dreamed in unforgotten days | B |
| - | |
| But who is this that hurries on before | C |
| A flitting shade the brooding shades among | D |
| She turned I saw her face O God it wore | C |
| The face I used to wear when I was young | D |
| - | |
| I thought my spirit and my heart were tamed | E |
| To deadness dead the pangs that agonise | B |
| The old grief springs to choke me I am shamed | E |
| Before that little ghost with eager eyes | B |
| - | |
| O turn away let her not see not know | F |
| How should she bear it how should understand | G |
| O hasten down the stairway haste and go | F |
| And leave her dreaming in the silent land | G |
