The Dark House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE AGHGIJKJ| Dusk in the rain soaked garden | A |
| And dark the house within | B |
| A door creaked someone was early | C |
| To watch the dawn begin | B |
| But he stole away like a thief | D |
| In the chilly star bright air | E |
| Though the house was shuttered for slumber | F |
| He had left one wakeful there | E |
| - | |
| Nothing moved in the garden | A |
| Never a bird would sing | G |
| Nor shake and scatter the dew from the boughs | H |
| With shy and startled wing | G |
| But when that lover had passed the gate | I |
| A quavering thrush began | J |
| 'Come back come back ' he shrilled to the heart | K |
| Of the passion plighted man | J |
