The Haunted Garden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABCDDBCCCAEEEAFFFC CCCDGGGHIIIHJJJJCCCJ| THERE a tattered marigold | A |
| And dead asters manifold | A |
| Showed him where the garden old | A |
| Of time bloomed | B |
| Briar and thistle overgrew | C |
| Corners where the rose once blew | D |
| Where the phlox of every hue | D |
| Lay entombed | B |
| Here a coreopsis flower | C |
| Pushed its disc above a bower | C |
| Where once poured a starry shower | C |
| Bronze and gold | A |
| And a twisted hollyhock | E |
| And the remnant of a stock | E |
| Struggled up 'mid burr and dock | E |
| Through the mold | A |
| Flower pots with mossy cloak | F |
| Strewed a place beneath an oak | F |
| Where the garden bench lay broke | F |
| By the tree | C |
| And he thought of her who here | C |
| Sat with him but yesteryear | C |
| Her whose presence now seemed near | C |
| Stealthily | D |
| And the garden seemed to look | G |
| For her coming Petals shook | G |
| On the spot where with her book | G |
| Oft she sat | H |
| Suddenly there blew a wind | I |
| And across the garden blind | I |
| Like a black thought in a mind | I |
| Stole a cat | H |
| Lean as hunger like the shade | J |
| Of a dream a ghost unlaid | J |
| Through the weeds its way it made | J |
| Gaunt and old | J |
| Once 't was hers He looked to see | C |
| If she followed to the tree | C |
| Then recalled how long since she | C |
| Had been mold | J |
