Why He Was There Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCA DE DE| Much as he left it when he went from us | A |
| Here was the room again where he had been | B |
| So long that something oh him should be seen | C |
| Or felt and so it was Incredulous | A |
| I turned about loath to be greeted thus | A |
| And there he was in his old chair serene | C |
| As ever and as laconic as lean | C |
| As when he lived and as cadaverous | A |
| - | |
| Calm as he was of old when we were young | D |
| He sat there gazing at the pallid flame | E |
| Before him 'And how far will this go on ' | - |
| I thought He felt the failure of my tongue | D |
| And smiled 'I was not here until you came | E |
| And I shall not be here when you are gone ' | - |
