White Houses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBBCCDEDFBB| Your door is shut against my tightened face | A |
| And I am sharp as steel with discontent | B |
| But I possess the courage and the grace | A |
| To bear my anger proudly and unbent | B |
| The pavement slabs burn loose beneath my feet | B |
| A chafing savage down the decent street | B |
| And passion rends my vitals as I pass | C |
| Where boldly shines your shuttered door of glass | C |
| Oh I must search for wisdom every hour | D |
| Deep in my wrathful bosom sore and raw | E |
| And find in it the superhuman power | D |
| To hold me to the letter of your law | F |
| Oh I must keep my heart inviolate | B |
| Against the potent poison of your hate | B |
