Magic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABCBA DEFDEFGD HIJHIJFH FKEFKLEF| What was the spell she wove for me | A |
| Life was a common useful thing | B |
| An eligible building site | C |
| To hold a house to shelter me | A |
| There were no woodlands whispering | B |
| No unimagined dreams at night | C |
| About that house had folded wing | B |
| Disordering my life for me | A |
| - | |
| I was so safe until she came | D |
| With starry secrets in her eyes | E |
| And on her lips the word of power | F |
| Like to the moon of May she came | D |
| That makes men mad who were born wise | E |
| Within her hand the only flower | F |
| Man ever plucked from Paradise | G |
| So to my half built house she came | D |
| - | |
| She turned my useful plot of land | H |
| Into a garden wild and fair | I |
| Where stars in garlands hung like flowers | J |
| A moonlit lonely lovely land | H |
| Dim groves and glimmering fountains there | I |
| Embraced a secret bower of bowers | J |
| And in its rose ringed heart we were | F |
| Alone in that enchanted land | H |
| - | |
| What was the spell I wove for her | F |
| Her mad dear magic to undo | K |
| The red rose dies the white rose dies | E |
| The garden spits me forth with her | F |
| On the old suburban road I knew | K |
| My house is gone and by my side | L |
| A stranger stands with angry eyes | E |
| And lips that swear I ruined her | F |
