The Gray Folk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE CGGC| THE house with blind unhappy face | A |
| Stands lonely in the last year's corn | B |
| And in the grayness of the morn | B |
| The gray folk come about the place | A |
| - | |
| By many pathways gliding gray | C |
| They come past meadow wood and wold | D |
| Come by the farm and by the fold | D |
| From the green fields of yesterday | C |
| - | |
| Past lock and chain and bolt and bar | E |
| They press to stand about my bed | F |
| And like the faces of the dead | F |
| I know their hidden faces are | E |
| - | |
| They will not leave me in the day | C |
| And when night falls they will not go | G |
| Because I silenced long ago | G |
| The only voice that they obey | C |
