Spring Pastoral Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| Liza go steep your long white hands | A |
| In the cool waters of that spring | B |
| Which bubbles up through shiny sands | A |
| The colour of a wild dove's wing | B |
| - | |
| Dabble your hands and steep them well | C |
| Until those nails are pearly white | D |
| Now rosier than a laurel bell | C |
| Then come to me at candlelight | D |
| - | |
| Lay your cold hands across my brows | E |
| And I shall sleep and I shall dream | F |
| Of silver pointed willow boughs | E |
| Dipping their fingers in a stream | F |
