Ghost House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA CCBBC DDEED FFGGF HHIIH JJBBJ| I dwell in a lonely house I know | A |
| That vanished many a summer ago | A |
| And left no trace but the cellar walls | B |
| And a cellar in which the daylight falls | B |
| And the purple stemmed wild raspberries grow | A |
| - | |
| O'er ruined fences the grape vines shield | C |
| The woods come back to the mowing field | C |
| The orchard tree has grown one copse | B |
| Of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops | B |
| The footpath down to the well is healed | C |
| - | |
| I dwell with a strangely aching heart | D |
| In that vanished abode there far apart | D |
| On that disused and forgotten road | E |
| That has no dust bath now for the toad | E |
| Night comes the black bats tumble and dart | D |
| - | |
| The whippoorwill is coming to shout | F |
| And hush and cluck and flutter about | F |
| I hear him begin far enough away | G |
| Full many a time to say his say | G |
| Before he arrives to say it out | F |
| - | |
| It is under the small dim summer star | H |
| I know not who these mute folk are | H |
| Who share the unlit place with me | I |
| Those stones out under the low limbed tree | I |
| Doubtless bear names that the mosses mar | H |
| - | |
| They are tireless folk but slow and sad | J |
| Though two close keeping are lass and lad | J |
| With none among them that ever sings | B |
| And yet in view of how many things | B |
| As sweet companions as might be had | J |
