The Shadow People Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEDEFEFGHGHIJIJ GJGG| Old lame Bridget doesn't hear | A |
| Fairy music in the grass | B |
| When the gloaming's on the mere | C |
| And the shadow people pass | B |
| Never hears their slow grey feet | D |
| Coming from the village street | D |
| Just beyond the parson's wall | E |
| Where the clover globes are sweet | D |
| And the mushroom's parasol | E |
| Opens in the moonlit rain | F |
| Every night I hear them call | E |
| From their long and merry train | F |
| Old lame Bridget says to me | G |
| It's just your fancy child | H |
| She cannot believe I see | G |
| Laughing faces in the wild | H |
| Hands that twinkle in the sedge | I |
| Where the finny minnows quiver | J |
| Shaping on a blue wave's ledge | I |
| Bubble foam to sail the river | J |
| And the sunny hands to me | G |
| Beckon ever beckon ever | J |
| Oh I would be wild and free | G |
| And with the shadow people be | G |
