Romance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD BDBDBD| My Love dwelt in a Northern land | A |
| A grey tower in a forest green | B |
| Was hers and far on either hand | A |
| The long wash of the waves was seen | B |
| And leagues on leagues of yellow sand | A |
| The woven forest boughs between | B |
| - | |
| And through the silver Northern night | C |
| The sunset slowly died away | D |
| And herds of strange deer lily white | C |
| Stole forth among the branches grey | D |
| About the coming of the light | C |
| They fled like ghosts before the day | D |
| - | |
| I know not if the forest green | B |
| Still girdles round that castle grey | D |
| I know not if the boughs between | B |
| The white deer vanish ere the day | D |
| Above my Love the grass is green | B |
| My heart is colder than the clay | D |
