The Message Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DADA EBEB FGFG HAHA| Wind of the gentle summer night | A |
| Dwell in the lilac tree | B |
| Sway the blossoms clustered light | A |
| Then blow over to me | B |
| - | |
| Wind you are sometimes strong and great | C |
| You frighten the ships at sea | B |
| Now come floating your delicate freight | C |
| Out of the lilac tree | B |
| - | |
| Wind you must waver a gossamer sail | D |
| To ferry a scent so light | A |
| Will you carry my love a message as frail | D |
| Through the hawk haunted night | A |
| - | |
| For my heart is sometimes strange and wild | E |
| Bitter and bold and free | B |
| I scare the beautiful timid child | E |
| As you frighten the ships at sea | B |
| - | |
| But now when the hawks are piercing the air | F |
| With the golden stars above | G |
| The only thing that my heart can bear | F |
| Is a lilac message of love | G |
| - | |
| Gentle wind will you carry this | H |
| Up to her window white | A |
| Give her a gentle tender kiss | H |
| Bid her good night good night | A |
