Where They Lived Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCB DEFEGE HIHIEI| Dishevelled leaves creep down | A |
| Upon that bank to day | B |
| Some green some yellow and some pale brown | A |
| The wet bents bob and sway | B |
| The once warm slippery turf is sodden | C |
| Where we laughingly sat or lay | B |
| - | |
| The summerhouse is gone | D |
| Leaving a weedy space | E |
| The bushes that veiled it once have grown | F |
| Gaunt trees that interlace | E |
| Through whose lank limbs I see too clearly | G |
| The nakedness of the place | E |
| - | |
| And where were hills of blue | H |
| Blind drifts of vapour blow | I |
| And the names of former dwellers few | H |
| If any people know | I |
| And instead of a voice that called Come in Dears | E |
| Time calls Pass below | I |
