The New Tenants Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA DEFGHE| The day was here when it was his to know | A |
| How fared the barriers he had built between | B |
| His triumph and his enemies unseen | B |
| For them to undermine and overthrow | A |
| And it was his no longer to forego | A |
| The sight of them insidious and serene | B |
| Where they were delving always and had been | C |
| Left always to be vicious and to grow | A |
| - | |
| And there were the new tenants who had come | D |
| By doors that were left open unawares | E |
| Into his house and were so much at home | F |
| There now that he would hardly have to guess | G |
| By the slow guile of their vindictiveness | H |
| What ultimate insolence would soon be theirs | E |
