The Call Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DBCB EBCB FBCB GBCB ABHBIs it the wind that stirs the trees | A |
Is it the trees that scratch the wall | B |
Is it the wall that shakes and mutters | C |
Is it a dumb ghost's call | B |
- | |
The wind steals in and twirls the candle | D |
The branches heave and brush the wall | B |
But more than tree or wild wind mutters | C |
This night this night of all | B |
- | |
Open a cry sounds and I gasp | E |
Open and hands beat door and wall | B |
Open and each dark echo mutters | C |
I rise a shape and shadow tall | B |
- | |
Open Across the room I falter | F |
And near the door crouch by the wall | B |
Thrice bolt the door as the voice mutters | C |
Open and frail strokes fall | B |
- | |
Open The light's out and I shrink | G |
Quaking and blind against the wall | B |
Open no sound is yet it mutters | C |
Within me now this night of all | B |
- | |
Was it the wind that stirred the trees | A |
Was it the trees that scratched the wall | B |
Was it the wall that shook and muttered | H |
Or Love's last ghostly call | B |
