And Does She Still Perceive Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDBDCEEFFGHHIJJKL LKMNNOMMKOOO| And does she still perceive her curtain drawn | A |
| white fields where maiden Dawn | A |
| is anguish'd with the untold approach of joy | B |
| or in the wooing forenoon softly pass | C |
| where of our little friends | D |
| that knew us girl and boy | B |
| the delicate feather pinks each dainty greeting bends | D |
| before her step amid the pale sweet grass | C |
| or warmer flush | E |
| our poppies with her blush | E |
| as the long day of love grows bold for the red kiss | F |
| and dreams of bliss | F |
| dizzy the brain and awe the youthful blood | G |
| Surely her longing gaze hath call'd them forth | H |
| the bashful blue eyed flower births of the North | H |
| forget me nots and violets of the wood | I |
| those maids that slept beneath the snow and every gracious thing | J |
| that glads the spring | J |
| Ah sweet but dream me in thy landscape there | K |
| as I have pictured thee | L |
| and I shall rest the long day at thy knee | L |
| beneath thy hair | K |
| and Thou and I unconscious of surprise | M |
| but innocently quiet and gravely glad | N |
| and just a little sad | N |
| with longing long repress'd | O |
| shall fill with grace each other's welcome eyes | M |
| till the shy evening rise | M |
| and the streaming lilac bloom enchant the drowsed air | K |
| hushing it soft and warm round pillows press'd | O |
| by happy lovers' rest | O |
| lost in that timeless hour when breast is joined to breast | O |
