The Gray Sisters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABCDBEEBEFFGDDGDD DDDDDDDD| What is that which walks by night | A |
| In flying tatters of leaves and weeds | B |
| When the clouds rush by like daemon steeds | B |
| And the moon is a jack o' lantern light | A |
| Low in the pool's dark reeds | B |
| What is that like a soul who sinned | C |
| Is it a witch or the Autumn wind | D |
| What is that which sits and glowers | B |
| Under the trees by the forest pool | E |
| With a cloak of moss whence the raindrops drule | E |
| Chilling the air with a sense of showers | B |
| And touch of the cold toadstool | E |
| What is that with its breath of gloom | F |
| Is it a witch or the Fall perfume | F |
| What is that in a mantle of gray | G |
| With rags like water that wreathe and wind | D |
| That gropes the forest as if to find | D |
| A path long lost on its midnight way | G |
| Shadowy old and blind | D |
| What is that so white and whist | D |
| Is it a witch or the Autumn mist | D |
| You may have met them you may have heard | D |
| As I have heard them as I have met | D |
| The three gray sisters of wind and wet | D |
| Each With a spell or a cryptic word | D |
| Working her magic yet | D |
| The three gray sisters the witches old | D |
| Daughters of Autumn who haunt the wold | D |
