Spooks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABC CDD EEF GGF ADDC| Last night I dreamed that I was come again | A |
| Unto the house where my beloved dwells | B |
| After long years of wandering and pain | C |
| - | |
| And I stood out beneath the drenching rain | C |
| And all the street was bare and black with night | D |
| But in my true love's house was warmth and light | D |
| - | |
| Yet I could not draw near nor enter in | E |
| And long I wondered if some secret sin | E |
| Or old unhappy anger held me fast | F |
| - | |
| Till suddenly it came into my head | G |
| That I was killed long since and lying dead | G |
| Only a homeless wraith that way had passed | F |
| - | |
| So thus I found my true love's house again | A |
| And stood unseen amid the winter night | D |
| And the lamp burned within a rosy light | D |
| And the wet street was shining in the rain | C |
