The Ageing House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABABC AAAAAAAAC| When the walls were red | A |
| That now are seen | B |
| To be overspread | A |
| With a mouldy green | B |
| A fresh fair head | A |
| Would often lean | B |
| From the sunny casement | A |
| And scan the scene | B |
| While blithely spoke the wind to the little sycamore tree | C |
| - | |
| But storms have raged | A |
| Those walls about | A |
| And the head has aged | A |
| That once looked out | A |
| And zest is suaged | A |
| And trust is doubt | A |
| And slow effacement | A |
| Is rife throughout | A |
| While fiercely girds the wind at the long limbed sycamore tree | C |
