House And Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEFG FHHIIJ KEELL| One hour as dim he and his house now look | A |
| As a reflection in a rippling brook | A |
| While I remember him but first his house | B |
| Empty it sounded It was dark with forest boughs | C |
| That brushed the walls and made the mossy tiles | D |
| Part of the squirrels' track In all those miles | D |
| Of forest silence and forest murmur only | E |
| One house 'Lonely ' he said 'I wish it were lonely' | E |
| Which the trees looked upon from every side | F |
| And that was his | G |
| - | |
| He waved good bye to hide | F |
| A sigh that he converted to a laugh | H |
| He seemed to hang rather than stand there half | H |
| Ghost like half like a beggar's rag clean wrung | I |
| And useless on the brier where it has hung | I |
| Long years a washing by sun and wind and rain | J |
| - | |
| But why I call back man and house again | K |
| Is there now a beech tree's tip I see | E |
| As then I saw I at the gate and he | E |
| In the house darkness magpie veering about | L |
| A magpie like a weathercock in doubt | L |
