A Medley: Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal (the Princess) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDFDGD HIJD| Now sleeps the crimson petal now the white | A |
| Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk | B |
| Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font | C |
| The fire fly wakens waken thou with me | D |
| Now droops the milk white peacock like a ghost | E |
| And like a ghost she glimmers on to me | D |
| Now lies the earth all Dana to the stars | F |
| And all thy heart lies open unto me | D |
| Now slides the silent meteor on and leaves | G |
| A shining furrow as thy thoughts in me | D |
| - | |
| Now folds the lily all her sweetness up | H |
| And slips into the bosom of the lake | I |
| So fold thyself my dearest thou and slip | J |
| Into my bosom and be lost in me | D |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
