The Ghost Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCCB DEDEDDE| NOW that the curtains are drawn close | A |
| Now that the fire burns low | B |
| And on her narrow bed the rose | C |
| Is stark laid out in snow | B |
| Now that the wind of winter blows | C |
| Bid my heart say if still it knows | C |
| The step it used to know | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| I hear the silken gown you wear | D |
| Sweep on the gallery floor | E |
| Your step comes up the wide dark stair | D |
| And pauses at my door | E |
| My heart with the old hope flowers fair | D |
| That shrivels to the old despair | D |
| For you come in no more | E |
