The Sunlit House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACCAA ACAAAA| White through the gate it gleamed and slept | A |
| In shattered sunshine The parched garden flowers | B |
| Their scarlet petals from the beds unswept | A |
| Like children unloved and ill kept | A |
| Dreamed through the hours Two blue hydrangeas by the blistered door burned brown | C |
| Watched there and no one in the town | C |
| Cared to go past it night or day | A |
| Though why this was they wouldn't say | A |
| - | |
| But I the stranger knew that I must stay | A |
| Pace up the weed grown paths and down | C |
| Till one afternoon there is just a doubt | A |
| Bit I fancy I heard a tiny shout | A |
| From an upper window a bird flew out | A |
| And I went my way | A |
