At Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGF HIJIKLML NOPOQOKO RSTUVOWO| When I was dead my spirit turned | A |
| To seek the much frequented house | B |
| I passed the door and saw my friends | C |
| Feasting beneath green orange boughs | D |
| From hand to hand they pushed the wine | E |
| They sucked the pulp of plum and peach | F |
| They sang they jested and they laughed | G |
| For each was loved of each | F |
| - | |
| I listened to their honest chat | H |
| Said one To morrow we shall be | I |
| Plod plod along the featureless sands | J |
| And coasting miles and miles of sea | I |
| Said one Before the turn of tide | K |
| We will achieve the eyrie seat | L |
| Said one To morrow shall be like | M |
| To day but much more sweet | L |
| - | |
| To morrow said they strong with hope | N |
| And dwelt upon the pleasant way | O |
| To morrow cried they one and all | P |
| While no one spoke of yesterday | O |
| Their life stood full at blessed noon | Q |
| I only I had passed away | O |
| To morrow and to day they cried | K |
| I was of yesterday | O |
| - | |
| I shivered comfortless but cast | R |
| No chill across the table cloth | S |
| I all forgotten shivered sad | T |
| To stay and yet to part how loth | U |
| I passed from the familiar room | V |
| I who from love had passed away | O |
| Like the remembrance of a guest | W |
| That tarrieth but a day | O |
