Grey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEDCE FGHFFHHF DIDJJI| LADY of Sorrow What though laughing blue | A |
| Thy sister mock men s anguish and the sun | B |
| Glare like a wrathful judge on many a one | B |
| That longs for night his bitter shame to rue | A |
| Yet dost thou grant thy mercy of mist and dew | A |
| And cloud and calm ere angry day be done | B |
| Weaving over the vault the weary shun | B |
| Thy veil of peace with pity trembling through | A |
| - | |
| When all light loves and all brave hues are flown | C |
| When beaten hope falls from the reeling fight | D |
| And life is lone upon her desolate way | E |
| And noon is fierce and no men see aright | D |
| Then weary eyes turn unto thee their own | C |
| Lady of Grief the soul s madonna Grey | E |

| II | - |
| - | |
| Yet not in sorrow only art thou fair | F |
| For joy may know and love thee in the pall | G |
| Of spray that slumbers on the waterfall | H |
| Or in low cottage smoke in evening air | F |
| Or in brave stone carven in glory rare | F |
| Or when the tender mists of Autumn fall | H |
| Dappling the mead with beauty and the tall | H |
| Stark dreaming oaks thine ancient livery wear | F |
| - | |
| Yet none hath known thy loveliness aright | D |
| Save him who gazing in his lady s eyes | I |
| Sees dim lists tossing with plumes of many a knight | D |
| And woods where elfin waters gleam and glance | J |
| And all the vision and faith of old romance | J |
| And the great dream of youth that never dies | I |
