Dora Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD AAEE FGHHIt was I well remember the merry springtime when | A |
Young Dora in the eventide came singing up the glen | A |
And the song came up the glen till one oft repeated part | B |
In a subtle stream of melody ran glowing through my heart | B |
A fond desire long cherished till then I might control | C |
Till then but oh That witching strain swift drew it from my soul | C |
Swift drew it from my soul and she did not say me nay | D |
And the world of love was all the world to us that happy day | D |
- | |
I m happy now in thinking how happy I was then | A |
When towards the glowing west my love went homeward down the glen | A |
Went homeward down the glen while my comfort surer grew | E |
Till methought the old faced hills at looked as they were happy too | E |
- | |
All happy for that Dora and I so happy were | F |
All happy for that human love had breathed its spirit there | G |
Had breathed its spirit there and had made them conscious grow | H |
Of the part they bore in that sweet time that happy long ago | H |
