The Shepherdess Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB ABABAB ABABABShe walks the lady of my delight | A |
A shepherdess of sheep | B |
Her flocks are thoughts She keeps them white | A |
She keeps them from the steep | B |
She feeds them on the fragrant height | A |
And folds them in for sleep | B |
- | |
She roams maternal hills and bright | A |
Dark valleys safe and deep | B |
Into that tender breast at night | A |
The chastest stars may peep | B |
She walks the lady of my delight | A |
A shepherdess of sheep | B |

She holds her little thoughts in sight | A |
Though gay they run and leap | B |
She is so circumspect and right | A |
She has her soul to keep | B |
She walks the lady of my delight | A |
A shepherdess of sheep | B |
