Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBCCDDEEFFGGHHAA AAIIIFaeries must be in the woods | A |
Or the satyrs' laughing broods | A |
Tritons in the summer sea | A |
Else how could the dead things be | A |
Half so lovely as they are | B |
How could wealth of star on star | B |
Dusted o'er the frosty night | C |
Fill thy spirit with delight | C |
And lead thee from this care of thine | D |
Up among the dreams divine | D |
Were it not that each and all | E |
Of them that walk the heavenly hall | E |
Is in truth a happy isle | F |
Where eternal meadows smile | F |
And golden globes of fruit are seen | G |
Twinkling through the orchards green | G |
Were the Other People go | H |
On the bright sward to and fro | H |
Atoms dead could never thus | A |
Stir the human heart of us | A |
Unless the beauty that we see | A |
The veil of endless beauty be | A |
Filled full of spirits that have trod | I |
Far hence along the heavenly sod | I |
And see the bright footprints of God | I |
