Haunted Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DEDF GHGTHE house is haunted when the little feet | A |
Go pattering about it in their play | B |
I tremble lest the little one should meet | A |
The ghosts that haunt the happy night and day | B |
- | |
- | |
And yet I think they only come to me | C |
They come through night of ease and pleasant day | B |
To whisper of the torment that must be | C |
If I some day should be alas as they | B |
- | |
- | |
And when the child is lying warm asleep | D |
The ghosts draw back the curtain of my bed | E |
And past them through the dreadful dark I creep | D |
Clasp close the child and so am comforted | F |
- | |
- | |
Cling close cling close my darling my delight | G |
Sad voices on the wind come thin and wild | H |
Ghosts of poor mothers crying in the night | G |
'Father have pity once I had a child ' | - |
