The Little House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABC DDBB EEBB FFGG BBFF HHII FFCC| One yestereve in the waning light | A |
| When the wind was still and the gloaming bright | A |
| There came a breath from a far countrie | B |
| And the ghost of a Little House called to me | C |
| - | |
| Have you forgotten me No I cried | D |
| Your hall was as narrow as this is wide | D |
| Your roof was leaky the rain came through | B |
| Till a ceiling fell on my new frock too | B |
| - | |
| In your parlour flooring a loose board hid | E |
| And wore the carpet you know it did | E |
| Your kitchen was small and the shelves were few | B |
| While the fireplace smoked and you know it's true | B |
| - | |
| The little ghost sighed Do you quite forget | F |
| My window boxes of mignonette | F |
| And the sunny room where you used to sew | G |
| When a great hope came to you long ago | G |
| - | |
| Ah me How you used to watch the door | B |
| Where a latch key turned on the stroke of four | B |
| And you made the tea and you poured it out | F |
| From an old brown pot with a broken spout | F |
| - | |
| Now times have changed And your footman waits | H |
| With the silver urn and the fluted plates | H |
| But the little blind Love with the wings has flown | I |
| Who used to sit by your warm hearth stone | I |
| - | |
| The little ghost paused Then Away I said | F |
| Back to your place with the quiet dead | F |
| Back to your place lest my servants see | C |
| That the ghost of a Little House calls to me | C |
