The Lost House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAA CBBD CCEF DEE| Out of thy door I run to do the thing | A |
| That calls upon me Straight the wind of words | B |
| Whoops from mine ears the sounds of them that sing | A |
| About their work My God my father king | A |
| - | |
| I turn in haste to see thy blessed door | C |
| But lo a cloud of flies and bats and birds | B |
| And stalking vapours and vague monster herds | B |
| Have risen and lighted rushed and swollen between | D |
| - | |
| Ah me the house of peace is there no more | C |
| Was it a dream then Walls fireside and floor | C |
| And sweet obedience loving calm and free | E |
| Are vanished gone as they had never been | F |
| - | |
| I labour groaning Comes a sudden sheen | D |
| And I am kneeling at my father's knee | E |
| Sighing with joy and hoping utterly | E |
