The House Where We Were Wed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE AFGHAIJI KLMLNOPO BQPQRBSB| I've been to the old farm house good wife | A |
| Where you and I were wed | B |
| Where the love was born to our two hearts | C |
| That now lies cold and dead | B |
| Where a long kept secret to you I told | D |
| In the yellow beams of the moon | E |
| And we forged our vows out of love's own gold | D |
| To be broken so soon so soon | E |
| - | |
| I passed through all the old rooms good wife | A |
| I wandered on and on | F |
| I followed the steps of a flitting ghost | G |
| The ghost of a love that is gone | H |
| And he led me out to the arbor wife | A |
| Where with myrtles I twined your hair | I |
| And he seated me down on the old stone step | J |
| And left me musing there | I |
| - | |
| The sun went down as it used to do | K |
| And sunk in the sea of night | L |
| The two bright stars that we called ours | M |
| Came slowly unto my sight | L |
| But the one that was mine went under a cloud | N |
| Went under a cloud alone | O |
| And a tear that I wouldn't have shed for the world | P |
| Fell down on the old gray stone | O |
| - | |
| But there be words can ne'er be unsaid | B |
| And deeds can ne'er be undone | Q |
| Except perhaps in another world | P |
| Where life's once more begun | Q |
| And maybe some time in the time to come | R |
| When a few more years are sped | B |
| We'll love again as we used to love | S |
| In the house where we were wed | B |
