The Remonstrance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDD EFGGHH IJHHHH KKLLDDMM| I was at peace until you came | A |
| And set a careless mind aflame | A |
| I lived in quiet cold content | B |
| All longing in safe banishment | C |
| Until your ghostly lips and eyes | D |
| Made wisdom unwise | D |
| - | |
| Naught was in me to tempt your feet | E |
| To seek a lodging Quite forgot | F |
| Lay the sweet solitude we two | G |
| In childhood used to wander through | G |
| Time's cold had closed my heart about | H |
| And shut you out | H |
| - | |
| Well and what then O vision grave | I |
| Take all the little all I have | J |
| Strip me of what in voiceless throught | H |
| Life's kept of life unhoped unsought | H |
| Reverie and dream that memory must | H |
| Hide deep in dust | H |
| - | |
| This only I say Though cold and bare | K |
| The haunted house you have chosen to share | K |
| Still 'neath its walls the moonbeam goes | L |
| And trembles on the untended rose | L |
| Still o'er its broken roof tree rise | D |
| The starry arches of the skies | D |
| And 'neath your lightest word shall be | M |
| The thunder of an ebbing sea | M |
