The Tavern Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDC EFFGEE| Whenever I go by there nowadays | A |
| And look at the rank weeds and the strange grass | B |
| The torn blue curtains and the broken glass | B |
| I seem to be afraid of the old place | C |
| And something stiffens up and down my face | C |
| For all the world as if I saw the ghost | D |
| Of old Ham Amory the murdered host | D |
| With his dead eyes turned on me all aglaze | C |
| - | |
| The Tavern has a story but no man | E |
| Can tell us what it is We only know | F |
| That once long after midnight years ago | F |
| A stranger galloped up from Tilbury Town | G |
| Who brushed and scared and all but overran | E |
| That skirt crazed reprobate John Evereldown | E |
