Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEDFDGD HIJDNow 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 euml 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
