Desolate Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDA EEEE EA FGFG HHABCCA| From the sad eaves the drip drop of the rain | A |
| The water washing at the latchel door | B |
| A slow step plashing by upon the moor | C |
| A single bleat far from the famished fold | D |
| The clicking of an embered hearth and cold | D |
| The rainy Robin tic tac at the pane | A |

| 'So as it is with thee | E |
| Is it with me | E |
| So as it is and it used not to be | E |
| With thee used not to be | E |
| Nor me ' | - |
| So singeth Robin on the willow tree | E |
| The rainy robin tic tac at the pane | A |

| Here in this breast all day | F |
| The fire is dim and low | G |
| Within I care not to stay | F |
| Without I care not to go | G |

| A sadness ever sings | H |
| Of unforgotten things | H |
| And the bird of love is patting at the pane | A |
| But the wintry water deepens at the door | B |
| And a step is plashing by upon the moor | C |
| Into the dark upon the darkening moor | C |
| And alas alas the drip drop of the rain | A |
