To One In Paradise Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCB DEDEDED FGHFHFH FFFFFF IJIJIJ

Thou wast that all to me loveA
For which my soul did pineB
A green isle in the sea loveA
A fountain and a shrineB
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowersC
And all the flowers were mineB
-
Ah dream too bright to lastD
Ah starry Hope that didst ariseE
But to be overcastD
A voice from out the Future criesE
On on but o'er the PastD
Dim gulf my spirit hovering liesE
Mute motionless aghastD
-
For alas alas with meF
The light of Life is o'erG
No more no more no moreH
Such language holds the solemn seaF
To the sands upon the shoreH
Shall bloom the thunder blasted treeF
Or the stricken eagle soarH
-
And all my days are trancesF
And all my nightly dreamsF
Are where thy dark eye glancesF
And where thy footstep gleamsF
In what ethereal dancesF
By what eternal streamsF
-
Alas for that accursed timeI
They bore thee o'er the billowJ
From love to titled age and crimeI
And an unholy pillowJ
From me and from our misty climeI
Where weeps the silver willowJ
