Mysterious Doings Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE BGHGIJKJ HLMLNONOAs once I rambled in the woods | A |
I chanced to spy amid the brake | B |
A huntsman ride his way beside | C |
A fair and passing tranquil lake | B |
Though velvet bucks sped here and there | D |
He let them scamper through the green | E |
Not one smote he but lustily | F |
He blew his horn what could it mean | E |
- | |
As on I strolled beside that lake | B |
A pretty maid I chanced to see | G |
Fishing away for finny prey | H |
Yet not a single one caught she | G |
All round her boat the fishes leapt | I |
And gambolled to their hearts' content | J |
Yet never a thing did the maid but sing | K |
I wonder what on earth it meant | J |
- | |
As later yet I roamed my way | H |
A lovely steed neighed loud and long | L |
And an empty boat sped all afloat | M |
Where sang a fishermaid her song | L |
All underneath the prudent shade | N |
Which yonder kindly willows threw | O |
Together strayed a youth and maid | N |
I can't explain it all can you | O |
