What The Owl Said To Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCA DEDEFGG DHDHCHI| The moon went under a ragged cloud | A |
| The owl cried out of the ruined wall | B |
| Slow and solemn distinct and loud | A |
| His melancholy call | B |
| Tu whit tu whit tu whoo | C |
| Like a creature in a shroud | A |
| - | |
| Across the night in a silver chain | D |
| While a lonesome wind arose and died | E |
| Slow stepped the ghostly feet of the rain | D |
| The owl from the wall replied | E |
| Tu whit tu whoo hoo hoo' | F |
| With a peal of goblin laughter | G |
| And silence fell thereafter | G |
| - | |
| Weird fingers of the wandering rain | D |
| Reaching out of the hollow dark | H |
| Paused and tapped at my window pane | D |
| A muffled voice cried Hark | H |
| Tu whit tu whit tu whoo | C |
| The moon is drowned in the dark | H |
| And the world belongs to me and you | I |
