Haunted Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DEDF GHG

THE house is haunted when the little feetA
Go pattering about it in their playB
I tremble lest the little one should meetA
The ghosts that haunt the happy night and dayB
-
-
And yet I think they only come to meC
They come through night of ease and pleasant dayB
To whisper of the torment that must beC
If I some day should be alas as theyB
-
-
And when the child is lying warm asleepD
The ghosts draw back the curtain of my bedE
And past them through the dreadful dark I creepD
Clasp close the child and so am comfortedF
-
-
Cling close cling close my darling my delightG
Sad voices on the wind come thin and wildH
Ghosts of poor mothers crying in the nightG
'Father have pity once I had a child '-
