The Sunlit House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACCAA ACAAAAWhite 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 |
