Eva Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEFGFHGIIHGod bless the darling Eva was my prayer | A |
A pure unconscious depth of earnestness | B |
Was in her eyes so indescribable | C |
You might as well the color of the air | A |
Seek to daguerreotype or to impress | D |
A stain upon the river whose first swell | E |
Would swirl it to the deep A calm sweet soul | F |
Where Love's celestial saints and ministers | G |
Did hold the earthly under such control | F |
Virtue sprung up like daisies from the sod | H |
Oh for one hour's sweet excellence like hers | G |
One hour of sinlessness that never more | I |
Can visit me this side the Silent Shore | I |
To stand like her serene unblushing before God | H |
