A House With A History Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFGGF HIHHI| There is a house in a city street | A |
| Some past ones made their own | B |
| Its floors were criss crossed by their feet | A |
| And their babblings beat | A |
| From ceiling to white hearth stone | B |
| - | |
| And who are peopling its parlours now | C |
| Who talk across its floor | D |
| Mere freshlings are they blank of brow | C |
| Who read not how | C |
| Its prime had passed before | D |
| - | |
| Their raw equipments scenes and says | E |
| Afflicted its memoried face | F |
| That had seen every larger phase | G |
| Of human ways | G |
| Before these filled the place | F |
| - | |
| To them that house's tale is theirs | H |
| No former voices call | I |
| Aloud therein Its aspect bears | H |
| Their joys and cares | H |
| Alone from wall to wall | I |
