His Visitor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBB DEFEE GHIHH JKAKK| I come across from Mellstock while the moon wastes weaker | A |
| To behold where I lived with you for twenty years and more | B |
| I shall go in the gray at the passing of the mail train | C |
| And need no setting open of the long familiar door | B |
| As before | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| The change I notice in my once own quarters | D |
| A brilliant budded border where the daisies used to be | E |
| The rooms new painted and the pictures altered | F |
| And other cups and saucers and no cosy nook for tea | E |
| As with me | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| I discern the dim faces of the sleep wrapt servants | G |
| They are not those who tended me through feeble hours and strong | H |
| But strangers quite who never knew my rule here | I |
| Who never saw me painting never heard my softling song | H |
| Float along | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| So I don't want to linger in this re decked dwelling | J |
| I feel too uneasy at the contrasts I behold | K |
| And I make again for Mellstock to return here never | A |
| And rejoin the roomy silence and the mute and manifold | K |
| Souls of old | K |
