Jessie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBBBB CBCBBBBB DEDEFBFB GHGHIBIB| When I remark her golden hair | A |
| Swoon on her glorious shoulders | B |
| I marvel not that sight so rare | A |
| Doth ravish all beholders | B |
| For summon hence all pretty girls | B |
| Renowned for beauteous tresses | B |
| And you shall find among their curls | B |
| There's none so fair as Jessie's | B |
| - | |
| And Jessie's eyes are oh so blue | C |
| And full of sweet revealings | B |
| They seem to look you through and through | C |
| And read your inmost feelings | B |
| Nor black emits such ardent fires | B |
| Nor brown such truth expresses | B |
| Admit it all ye gallant squires | B |
| There are no eyes like Jessie's | B |
| - | |
| Her voice like liquid beams that roll | D |
| From moonland to the river | E |
| Steals subtly to the raptured soul | D |
| Therein to lie and quiver | E |
| Or falls upon the grateful ear | F |
| With chaste and warm caresses | B |
| Ah all concede the truth who hear | F |
| There's no such voice as Jessie's | B |
| - | |
| Of other charms she hath such store | G |
| All rivalry excelling | H |
| Though I used adjectives galore | G |
| They'd fail me in the telling | H |
| But now discretion stays my hand | I |
| Adieu eyes voice and tresses | B |
| Of all the husbands in the land | I |
| There's none so fierce as Jessie's | B |
