An Invitation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJ| Come where the white waves dance along the shore | A |
| Of some lone isle lost in the unknown seas | B |
| Whose golden sands by mortal foot before | A |
| Were never printed where the fragrant breeze | B |
| That never swept o'er land or flood that man | C |
| Could call his own th' unearthly breeze shall fan | C |
| Our mingled tresses with its odorous sighs | D |
| Where the eternal heaven's blue sunny eyes | D |
| Did ne'er look down on human shapes of earth | E |
| Or aught of mortal mould and death doomed birth | E |
| Come there with me and when we are alone | F |
| In that enchanted desert where the tone | F |
| Of earthly voice or language yet did ne'er | G |
| With its strange music startle the still air | G |
| When clasped in thy upholding arms I stand | H |
| Upon that bright world's coral cradled strand | H |
| When I can hide my face upon thy breast | I |
| While thy heart answers mine together pressed | I |
| Then fold me closer bend thy head above me | J |
| Listen and I will tell thee how I love thee | J |
