Ghost Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFG HIJI KLFM

'Who knocks ' 'I who was beautifulA
Beyond all dreams to restoreB
I from the roots of the dark thorn am hitherC
And knock on the door 'D
-
'Who speaks ' 'I once was my speechE
Sweet as the bird's on the airF
When echo lurks by the waters to heedG
'Tis I speak thee fair '-
-
'Dark is the hour ' 'Aye and cold '-
'Lone is my house ' 'Ah but mine '-
'Sight touch lips eyes gleamed in vain '-
'Long dead these to thine '-
-
Silence Still faint on the porchH
Brake the flames of the starsI
In gloom groped a hope wearied handJ
Over keys bolts and barsI
-
A face peered All the grey nightK
In chaos of vacancy shoneL
Nought but vast sorrow was thereF
The sweet cheat goneM
