Outside The House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDA AAEFGH IBAA| Walking yesterday in an outlying neighbourhood | A |
| I went by the house | B |
| I used to go to when I was very young | C |
| There Eros with his wonderful power | D |
| laid hold of my body | A |
| - | |
| And yesterday | A |
| when I walked down the old road | A |
| shops pavement stones | E |
| walls and balconies and windows | F |
| all were suddenly made beautiful by the spell of love | G |
| there was nothing ugly left there | H |
| - | |
| And as I stood staring at the door | I |
| stood lingering outside the house | B |
| my whole being radiated | A |
| the sensual passion stored up inside me | A |
