Unwelcome Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF ABAB| WE were young we were merry we were very very wise | A |
| And the door stood open at our feast | B |
| When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes | A |
| And a man with his back to the East | B |
| - | |
| O still grew the hearts that were beating so fast | C |
| The loudest voice was still | D |
| The jest died away on our lips as thy passed | C |
| And the rays of July struck chill | D |
| - | |
| The cups of red wine turned pale on the board | E |
| The white bread black as soot | F |
| The hound forgot the hand of her lord | E |
| She fell down at his foot | F |
| - | |
| Low let me lie where the dead dog lies | A |
| Ere I sit me down again at a feast | B |
| When there passes a woman with the West in her eyes | A |
| And a man with his back to the East | B |
