The Old Inn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCDCC CECEEFEFF GHGIICJC| Red Winding from the sleepy town | A |
| One takes the lone forgotten lane | B |
| Straight through the hills A brush bird brown | A |
| Bubbles in thorn flowers sweet with rain | B |
| Where breezes bend the gleaming grain | B |
| And cautious drip of higher leaves | C |
| The lower dips that drip again | D |
| Above the tangled trees it heaves | C |
| Its gables and its haunted eaves | C |
| - | |
| One creeper gnarled and blossomless | C |
| O'erforests all its eastern wall | E |
| The sighing cedars rake and press | C |
| Dark boughs along the panes they sprawl | E |
| While where the sun beats drone and drawl | E |
| The mud wasps and one bushy bee | F |
| Gold dusty hurls along the hall | E |
| To buzz into a crack To me | F |
| The shadows seem too seared to flee | F |
| - | |
| Of ragged chimneys martins make | G |
| Huge pipes of music twittering here | H |
| They build and roost My footfalls wake | G |
| Strange stealing echoes till I fear | I |
| I'll see my pale self drawing near | I |
| My phantom face as in a glass | C |
| Or one men murdered buried where | J |
| Dim in gray stealthy glimmer pass | C |
| With lips that seem to moan 'Alas ' | - |
