As is the case with villanelles, the first line of the first stanza of ‘The House on the Hill’appears as the third line in the second stanza.

The sixth stanza of ‘The House on the Hill’ is different than those that came before it. It is a quatrain, meaning it has six lines, and it contains both refrain lines. The speaker refers to the house again, this time evoking very dark images that relate to loss and total death. His symbolichouse is in “ruin and decay”. His memories are fading fast...
