Ghosts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHEHE CICIJCJC| I to a crumpled cabin came | A |
| upon a hillside high | B |
| And with me was a withered dame | A |
| As weariful as I | B |
| It used to be our home she said | C |
| How well I remember well | D |
| Oh that our happy hearth should be | E |
| Today an empty shell | D |
| - | |
| The door was flailing in the storm | F |
| That deafed us with its din | G |
| The roof that kept us once so warm | F |
| Now let the snow drift in | G |
| The floor sagged to the sod below | H |
| The walls caved crazily | E |
| We only heard the wind of woe | H |
| Where once was glow and glee | E |
| - | |
| So there we stood disconsolate | C |
| Beneath the Midnight Dome | I |
| And ancient miner and his mate | C |
| Before our wedded home | I |
| Where we had know such love and cheer | J |
| I sighed then soft she said | C |
| Do not regret remember dear | J |
| We too are dead | C |
