Alexandrines Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEEFFGGHH| There is a house that most of all on earth I hate | A |
| Though I have passed through many sorrows and have been | B |
| In bloody fields sad seas and countries desolate | C |
| Yet most I fear that empty house where the grasses green | D |
| Grow in the silent court the gaping flags between | D |
| And down the moss grown paths and terrace no man treads | E |
| Where the old old weeds rise deep on the waste garden beds | E |
| Like eyes of one long dead the empty windows stare | F |
| And I fear to cross the garden I fear to linger there | F |
| For in that house I know a little silent room | G |
| Where Someone's always waiting waiting in the gloom | G |
| To draw me with an evil eye and hold me fast | H |
| Yet thither doom will drive me and He will win at last | H |
