The House-hunter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGHH| As one who finds his house no longer fit | A |
| Too narrow for his needs in nothing right | B |
| Wanting in every homelike requisite | C |
| Devoid of beauty barren of delight | B |
| Goes forth from door to door and street to street | D |
| With eager eyed expectancy to find | E |
| A new abode for his convenience meet | D |
| Spacious commodious fair and to his mind | E |
| - | |
| So living souls recurrently outgrow | F |
| Their mental tenements their tastes appear | G |
| Too sordid and their aims too cramped and low | F |
| And they keep moving onward year by year | G |
| Each dwelling in its turn prepared to leave | H |
| For one more like the mansion they conceive | H |
