Souvenir Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEFD| A vanished house that for an hour I knew | A |
| By some forgotten chance when I was young | B |
| Had once a glimmering window overhung | B |
| With honeysuckle wet with evening dew | A |
| Along the path tall dusky dahlias grew | A |
| And shadowy hydrangeas reached and swung | B |
| Ferociously and over me among | B |
| The moths and mysteries a blurred bat flew | A |
| - | |
| Somewhere within there were dim presences | C |
| Of days that hovered and of years gone by | D |
| I waited and between their silences | C |
| There was an evanescent faded noise | E |
| And though a child I knew it was the voice | F |
| Of one whose occupation was to die | D |
