A Prayer On Going Into My House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMANO| God grant a blessing on this tower and cottage | A |
| And on my heirs if all remain unspoiled | B |
| No table or chair or stool not simple enough | C |
| For shepherd lads in Galilee and grant | D |
| That I myself for portions of the year | E |
| May handle nothing and set eyes on nothing | F |
| But what the great and passionate have used | G |
| Throughout so many varying centuries | H |
| We take it for the norm yet should I dream | I |
| Sinbad the sailor's brought a painted chest | J |
| Or image from beyond the Loadstone Mountain | K |
| That dream is a norm and should some limb of the Devil | L |
| Destroy the view by cutting down an ash | M |
| That shades the road or setting up a cottage | A |
| Planned in a government office shorten his life | N |
| Manacle his soul upon the Red Sea bottom | O |
