Prëterita Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDF| Low belts of rushes ragged with the blast | A |
| Lagoons of marish reddening with the west | B |
| And o'er the marsh the water fowl's unrest | B |
| While daylight dwindles and the dusk falls fast | A |
| Set in sad walls all mossy with the past | A |
| An old stone gateway with a crumbling crest | B |
| A garden where death drowses manifest | B |
| And in gaunt yews the shadowy house at last | A |
| Here like some unseen spirit silence talks | C |
| With echo and the wind in each gray room | D |
| Where melancholy slumbers with the rain | E |
| Or like some gentle ghost the moonlight walks | C |
| In the dim garden which her smile makes bloom | D |
| With all the old time loveliness again | F |
