Tales Of A Wayside Inn : Part 1. Finale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCACCCCCC DECFCCFFGG| The hour was late the fire burned low | A |
| The Landlord's eyes were closed in sleep | B |
| And near the story's end a deep | B |
| Sonorous sound at times was heard | C |
| As when the distant bagpipes blow | A |
| At this all laughed the Landlord stirred | C |
| As one awaking from a swound | C |
| And gazing anxiously around | C |
| Protested that he had not slept | C |
| But only shut his eyes and kept | C |
| His ears attentive to each word | C |
| - | |
| Then all arose and said 'Good Night ' | - |
| Alone remained the drowsy Squire | D |
| To rake the embers of the fire | E |
| And quench the waning parlor light | C |
| While from the windows here and there | F |
| The scattered lamps a moment gleamed | C |
| And the illumined hostel seemed | C |
| The constellation of the Bear | F |
| Downward athwart the misty air | F |
| Sinking and setting toward the sun | G |
| Far off the village clock struck one | G |
