The Door Ajar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBC CCCDCDECFGCG| My door is always left ajar | A |
| Lest you should suddenly slip through | B |
| A little breathless frightened star | A |
| Each footfall sets my heart abeat | C |
| I always think it may be you | B |
| Stolen in from the street | C |
| - | |
| My ears are evermore attent | C |
| Waiting in vain for one blest sound | C |
| The little frock with lilac scent | C |
| That used to whisper up the stair | D |
| Then in my arms with one wild bound | C |
| Your lips your eyes your hair | D |
| Never the south wind through the rose | E |
| Brushing its petals with soft hand | C |
| Made such sweet talking as your clothes | F |
| Rustling and fragrant as you came | G |
| And at my aching door would stand | C |
| Then vanish into flame | G |
