The Only Ghost I Ever Saw Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEB FGHGIJKL| The only ghost I ever saw | A |
| Was dressed in mechlin so | B |
| He wore no sandal on his foot | C |
| And stepped like flakes of snow | B |
| His gait was soundless like the bird | D |
| But rapid like the roe | B |
| His fashions quaint mosaic | E |
| Or haply mistletoe | B |
| - | |
| His conversation seldom | F |
| His laughter like the breeze | G |
| That dies away in dimples | H |
| Among the pensive trees | G |
| Our interview was transient | I |
| Of me himself was shy | J |
| And God forbid I look behind | K |
| Since that appalling day | L |
