Old Wonder Flush'd The East Anew Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJII KLKL| Old wonder flush'd the east anew | A |
| and shed the golden air and wing | B |
| of song that summon'd from the dew | A |
| and rapture of the fields of spring | B |
| old wonder blossom'd in my heart | C |
| because the threatening dream of old | D |
| that nightly wont to bid us part | C |
| now changing gave me to behold | D |
| thy rosy maidenhood that pass'd | E |
| and greeted me with stranger grace | F |
| who knew that meeting for our last | E |
| and far from mine thy biding place | F |
| And I have thank'd the threat of sleep | G |
| because the secret heart that flow'd | H |
| with phantom wound was proven to keep | G |
| beneath its living springs bestow'd | H |
| the pang that seven years since was felt | I |
| keen thro' my life yet soft dispersed | J |
| along all veins that thrill or melt | I |
| old wonder blossom'd not inhears'd | I |
| and eyes perchance made dull and slow | K |
| by the long days' subtle dusty mesh | L |
| waked gladly from their fear to know | K |
| old wonder old and ever fresh | L |
