Lonely Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE AFA GHGH AIAIJKJK ALAMNENE| The walls have seemed to say to me | A |
| Where have the sticky fingers gone | B |
| That always found their way to me | A |
| And left their prints to gaze upon | C |
| The halls have worn a gloomy air | D |
| And seemed like tunnels dark and black | E |
| And it has seemed that every chair | D |
| Has asked me when they're coming back | E |
| - | |
| The stairs have seemed to speak to me | A |
| Each night as I have climbed alone | F |
| And pitifully squeak to me | A |
| 'Where have the little people flown ' | - |
| The beds all smooth and sternly kept | G |
| Have said with faces drawn and white | H |
| Where are the curly heads that slept | G |
| On us so sweetly every night | H |
| - | |
| The untouched toys have stared at me | A |
| As if to say the days are long | I |
| And all their dolls have glared at me | A |
| As though accusing me of wrong | I |
| And every rug so straight and stiff | J |
| Has seemed to sigh for rumpling feet | K |
| And worn a sorry look as if | J |
| It missed the mud tracks of the street | K |
| - | |
| The bird has twittered low to me | A |
| A sort of solemn sad refrain | L |
| As though he tried to show to me | A |
| He wishes they were near again | M |
| But soon the walls and halls and chairs | N |
| Will know once more the charm they lack | E |
| And little feet will race the stairs | N |
| They've sent me word they're coming back | E |
