The Father Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHH| There is a hall in every house | A |
| Behind whose wainscot gnaws the mouse | A |
| Along whose sides are empty rooms | B |
| Peopled with dreams and ancient dooms | B |
| When down this hall you take your light | C |
| And face alone the hollow night | C |
| Be like the child who goes to bed | D |
| Though faltering and half adread | D |
| Of something crouching crookedly | E |
| In every corner he can see | F |
| Ready to snatch him into gloom | G |
| Yet goes on bravely to his room | G |
| Knowing above him watching there | H |
| His father waits upon the stair | H |
