Ghosts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFFGGHIJJKKLL MMNNOOCCPQRS| LOW weed climbed cliffs o'er which at noon | A |
| The sea mists swoon | A |
| Wind twisted pines through which the crow | B |
| Goes winging slow | B |
| Dim fields the sower never sows | C |
| Or reaps or mows | D |
| And near the sea a ghostly house of stone | E |
| Where all is old and lone | E |
| A garden falling in decay | F |
| Where statues gray | F |
| Peer broken out of tangled weed | G |
| And thorny seed | G |
| Satyr and Nymph that once made love | H |
| By walk and grove | I |
| And near a fountain shattered green with mold | J |
| A sundial lichen old | J |
| Like some sad life bereft | K |
| To musing left | K |
| The house stands love and youth | L |
| Both gone in sooth | L |
| But still it sits and dreams | M |
| And round it seems | M |
| Some memory of the past still young and fair | N |
| Haunting each crumbling stair | N |
| And suddenly one dimly sees | O |
| Come through the trees | O |
| A woman like a wild moss rose | C |
| A man who goes | C |
| Softly and by the dial | P |
| They kiss a while | Q |
| Then drowsily the mists blow round them wan | R |
| And they like ghosts are gone | S |
