The Satyr Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA CDBD EEFF GGFG HHIH JJIJ| When the flowery hands of spring | A |
| Forth their woodland riches fling | A |
| Through the meadows through the valleys | B |
| Goes the satyr carolling | A |
| - | |
| From the mountain and the moor | C |
| Forest green and ocean shore | D |
| All the faerie kin he rallies | B |
| Making music evermore | D |
| - | |
| See the shaggy pelt doth grow | E |
| On his twisted shanks below | E |
| And his dreadful feet are cloven | F |
| Though his brow be white as snow | F |
| - | |
| Though his brow be clear and white | G |
| And beneath it fancies bright | G |
| Wisdom and high thoughts are woven | F |
| And the musics of delight | G |
| - | |
| Though his temples too be fair | H |
| Yet two horns are growing there | H |
| Bursting forth to part asunder | I |
| All the riches of his hair | H |
| - | |
| Faerie maidens he may meet | J |
| Fly the horns and cloven feet | J |
| But his sad brown eyes with wonder | I |
| Seeing stay from their retreat | J |
