The House Across The Way Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBBDBEFBBGBHFAB| The leaves looked in at the window | A |
| Of the house across the way | B |
| At a man that had sinned like you and me | C |
| And all poor human clay | B |
| He muttered 'In a gambol | B |
| I took my soul astray | B |
| But to morrow I'll drag it back from danger | D |
| In the morning come what may | B |
| For no man knows what season | E |
| He shall go his ghostly way ' | F |
| And his face fell down upon the table | B |
| And where it fell it lay | B |
| And the wind blew under the carpet | G |
| And it said or it seemed to say | B |
| 'Truly all men must go a ghosting | H |
| And no man knows his day ' | F |
| And the leaves stared in at the window | A |
| Like the people at a play | B |
