The New Orpheus To His Eurydice Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAB CAAC DEDEDE FF| Why wilt thou woo ah strange Eurydice | A |
| A languid laurell'd Orpheus in the shades | A |
| For here is company of shadowy maids | A |
| Hero and Helen and Psamathoe | B |
| - | |
| And life is like the blossom on the tree | C |
| And never tumult of the world invades | A |
| The low light wanes and waxes flowers and fades | A |
| And sleep is sweet and dreams suffice for me | C |
| - | |
| Go back and seek the sunlight as of old | D |
| The wise ghost mother of Odysseus said | E |
| Here am I half content and scarce a cold | D |
| But one light fits the living one the dead | E |
| Good bye be glad forget thou canst not hold | D |
| In thy kind arms alas this powerless head | E |
| - | |
| When first we heard Rossetti sing | F |
| We also wrote this kind of thing | F |
