I Passed By The House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFFGGDD HHIJDDGG| I passed by the house one summer day | A |
| Morning sunshine upon it lay | A |
| Toward the windows that blood red burned | B |
| Flaming my soul was turned was turned | B |
| There spring had found me | C |
| And captive bound me | C |
| To lissome hands and soft lips enthralling | D |
| To smiles now stained by the teardrops falling | D |
| - | |
| Till the view from my vision dies | E |
| To it backward I send my eyes | E |
| All that was becomes new and near | F |
| The forgotten grows warm and dear | F |
| Mem'ries wander | G |
| While this I ponder | G |
| And from the springtime all love's sweet dreaming | D |
| Forward and back in my soul is streaming | D |
| - | |
| Joyous that time and joyous now | H |
| Sorrow that time and sorrow now | H |
| Sun on meadows bedewed appears | I |
| Soul in mem'ries of smiles and tears | J |
| When they waking | D |
| Their bounds are breaking | D |
| When streams their ebbing with sinking power | G |
| The soul bears poetry's bud and flower | G |
