How Grey The World Was Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDFGBHBII

How grey the world was with its memoriesA
How dark even this gay room where the motes runB
How black these curtains thick with murder criesC
These chairs this floor with things slain in the sunB
'Twas here I strangled love a year agoD
And hid it 'neath these pillows drenched in bloodE
As a mad mother her sweet babe of woeD
Too strong to die too fair which shrieks aloudF
How black and bare and bitter the world wasG
Just yesterday To day this room dear HeavenB
What laughters fill it what light footsteps passH
See the white chairs dance round me pleasure drivenB
And these sad pillows where I wept blab outI
The news that you are here in psalm and shoutI
