Why Will You Haunt Me Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABACAC DEDDEDFDF| Why will you haunt me unawares | A |
| And walk into my sleep | B |
| Pacing its shadowy thoroughfares | A |
| Where long dried perfume scents the airs | A |
| While ghosts of sorrow creep | B |
| Where on Hope's ruined altar stairs | A |
| With ineffectual beams | C |
| The Moon of Memory coldly glares | A |
| Upon the land of dreams | C |
| - | |
| My yearning eyes were fain to look | D |
| Upon your hidden face | E |
| Their love alas you could not brook | D |
| But in your own you mutely took | D |
| My hand and for a space | E |
| You wrung it till I throbbed and shook | D |
| And woke with wildest moan | F |
| And wet face channeled like a brook | D |
| With your tears or my own | F |
