The Bride Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFGFG HIJII

My love looks like a girl to nightA
But she is oldB
The plaits that lie along her pillowC
Are not goldB
But threaded with filigreeD
And uncanny coldB
-
She looks like a young maiden since her browE
Is smooth and fairF
Her cheeks are very smooth her eyes are closedG
She sleeps a rareF
Still winsome sleep so still and so composedG
-
Nay but she sleeps like a bride and dreams her dreamsH
Of perfect thingsI
She lies at last the darling in the shape of her dreamJ
And her dead mouth singsI
By its shape like the thrushes in clear eveningsI
