Serenade Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDDBEEB CCFGGFCCFCCF| Softly O midnight Hours | A |
| Move softly o'er the bowers | A |
| Where lies in happy sleep a girl so fair | B |
| For ye have power men say | C |
| Our hearts in sleep to sway | C |
| And cage cold fancies in a moonlight snare | B |
| Round ivory neck and arm | D |
| Enclasp a separate charm | D |
| Hang o'er her poised but breathe nor sigh nor prayer | B |
| Silently ye may smile | E |
| But hold your breath the while | E |
| And let the wind sweep back your cloudy hair | B |
| - | |
| Bend down your glittering urns | C |
| Ere yet the dawn returns | C |
| And star with dew the lawn her feet shall tread | F |
| Upon the air rain balm | G |
| Bid all the woods be calm | G |
| Ambrosial dreams with healthful slumbers wed | F |
| That so the Maiden may | C |
| With smiles your care repay | C |
| When from her couch she lifts her golden head | F |
| Waking with earliest birds | C |
| Ere yet the misty herds | C |
| Leave warm 'mid the gray grass their dusky bed | F |
