The House Of Hospitalities Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAE BFBF GHGH| Here we broached the Christmas barrel | A |
| Pushed up the charred log ends | B |
| Here we sang the Christmas carol | A |
| And called in friends | B |
| - | |
| Time has tired me since we met here | C |
| When the folk now dead were young | D |
| And the viands were outset here | C |
| And quaint songs sung | D |
| - | |
| And the worm has bored the viol | A |
| That used to lead the tune | E |
| Rust eaten out the dial | A |
| That struck night's noon | E |
| - | |
| Now no Christmas brings in neighbours | B |
| And the New Year comes unlit | F |
| Where we sang the mole now labours | B |
| And spiders knit | F |
| - | |
| Yet at midnight if here walking | G |
| When the moon sheets wall and tree | H |
| I see forms of old time talking | G |
| Who smile on me | H |
