Alone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHI| THE lilies clustered fair and tall | A |
| I stood outside the garden wall | A |
| I saw her light robe glimmering through | B |
| The fragrant evening's dusk and dew | B |
| - | |
| She stopped above the lilies pale | C |
| Up the clear east the moon did sail | C |
| I saw her bend her lovely head | D |
| O'er her rich roses blushing red | D |
| - | |
| Her slender hand the flowers caressed | E |
| Her touch the unconscious blossoms blessed | E |
| The rose against her perfumed palm | F |
| Leaned its soft cheek in blissful calm | F |
| - | |
| I would have given my soul to be | G |
| That rose she touched so tenderly | G |
| I stood alone outside the gate | H |
| And knew that life was desolate | I |
