The Haunted Chamber Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDECDE

Life is a house where many chambers beA
And all the doors will yield to him who triesB
Save one whereof men say behind it liesB
The haunting secret He who keeps the keyA
-
Keeps it securely smiles perchance to seeA
The eager hands stretched out to clutch the prizeB
Or looks with pity in the yearning eyesB
And is half moved to let the secret freeA
-
And truly some at every hour pass throughC
Pass through and tread upon that solemn floorD
Yet come not back to tell what they have foundE
We will not importune as others doC
With tears and cries the keeper of the doorD
But wait till our appointed hour comes roundE
