The Lifting Of The Mist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EFEFEF GHGIGH| All the long day the vapours played | A |
| At blindfold in the city streets | B |
| Their elfin fingers caught and stayed | A |
| The sunbeams as they wound their sheets | B |
| Into a filmy barricade | A |
| 'Twixt earth and where the sunlight beats | B |
| - | |
| A vagrant band of mischiefs these | C |
| With wings of grey and cobweb gown | D |
| They live along the edge of seas | C |
| And creeping out on foot of down | D |
| They chase and frolic frisk and tease | C |
| At blind man's buff with all the town | D |
| - | |
| And when at eventide the sun | E |
| Breaks with a glory through their grey | F |
| The vapour fairies one by one | E |
| Outspread their wings and float away | F |
| In clouds of colouring that run | E |
| Wine like along the rim of day | F |
| - | |
| Athwart the beauty and the breast | G |
| Of purpling airs they twirl and twist | H |
| Then float away to some far rest | G |
| Leaving the skies all colour kiss't | I |
| A glorious and a golden West | G |
| That greets the Lifting of the Mist | H |
