Confessions Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGB HIHI HJHJ KLKL FMFM HHHH MNMN| What is he buzzing in my ears | A |
| Now that I come to die | B |
| Do I view the world as a vale of tears | C |
| Ah reverend sir not I | B |
| - | |
| What I viewed there once what I view again | D |
| Where the physic bottles stand | E |
| On the table's edge is a suburb lane | F |
| With a wall to my bedside hand | E |
| - | |
| That lane sloped much as the bottles do | G |
| From a house you could descry | H |
| O'er the garden wall is the curtain blue | G |
| Or green to a healthy eye | B |
| - | |
| To mine it serves for the old June weather | H |
| Blue above lane and wall | I |
| And that farthest bottle labelled Ether | H |
| Is the house o'ertopping all | I |
| - | |
| At a terrace somewhere near the stopper | H |
| There watched for me one June | J |
| A girl I know sir it's improper | H |
| My poor mind's out of tune | J |
| - | |
| Only there was a way you crept | K |
| Close by the side to dodge | L |
| Eyes in the house two eyes except | K |
| They styled their house The Lodge | L |
| - | |
| What right had a lounger up their lane | F |
| But by creeping very close | M |
| With the good wall's help their eyes might strain | F |
| And stretch themselves to Oes | M |
| - | |
| Yet never catch her and me together | H |
| As she left the attic there | H |
| By the rim of the bottle labelled Ether | H |
| And stole from stair to stair | H |
| - | |
| And stood by the rose wreathed gate Alas | M |
| We loved sir used to meet | N |
| How sad and bad and mad it was | M |
| But then how it was sweet | N |
