Tenants Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDEED| Suddenly out of dark and leafy ways | A |
| We came upon the little house asleep | B |
| In cold blind stillness shadowless and deep | B |
| In the white magic of the full moon blaze | A |
| Strangers without the gate we stood agaze | A |
| Fearful to break that quiet and to creep | B |
| Into the home that had been ours to keep | B |
| Through a long year of happy nights and days | A |
| - | |
| So unfamiliar in the white moon gleam | C |
| So old and ghostly like a house of dream | C |
| It seemed that over us there stole the dread | D |
| That even as we watched it side by side | E |
| The ghosts of lovers who had lived and died | E |
| Within its walls were sleeping in our bed | D |
