The Maiden Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBB DBEDEB| The melody of birds is in her voice | A |
| The lake is not more crystal than her eyes | B |
| In whose brown depths her soul still sleeping lies | B |
| With her soft curls the passionate zephyr toys | C |
| And whispers in her ear of coming joys | C |
| Upon her breast red rosebuds fall and rise | B |
| Kissing her snowy throat and lover wise | B |
| Breathing forth sweetness till the fragrance cloys | B |
| - | |
| Sometimes she thinks of love but oftener yet | D |
| Wooing but wearies her and love's warm phrase | B |
| Repels and frightens her Then like the sun | E |
| At misty dawn amid the fear and fret | D |
| There rises in her heart at last some One | E |
| And all save love is banished by his rays | B |
