Longing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA DEDEFGFG CHCHIJIJ AKAKLMLM| Could I from this valley drear | A |
| Where the mist hangs heavily | B |
| Soar to some more blissful sphere | A |
| Ah how happy should I be | B |
| Distant hills enchant my sight | C |
| Ever young and ever fair | A |
| To those hills I'd take my flight | C |
| Had I wings to scale the air | A |
| - | |
| Harmonies mine ear assail | D |
| Tunes that breathe a heavenly calm | E |
| And the gently sighing gale | D |
| Greets me with its fragrant balm | E |
| Peeping through the shady bowers | F |
| Golden fruits their charms display | G |
| And those sweetly blooming flowers | F |
| Ne'er become cold winter's prey | G |
| - | |
| In you endless sunshine bright | C |
| Oh what bliss 'twould be to dwell | H |
| How the breeze on yonder height | C |
| Must the heart with rapture swell | H |
| Yet the stream that hems my path | I |
| Checks me with its angry frown | J |
| While its waves in rising wrath | I |
| Weigh my weary spirit down | J |
| - | |
| See a bark is drawing near | A |
| But alas the pilot fails | K |
| Enter boldly wherefore fear | A |
| Inspiration fills its sails | K |
| Faith and courage make thine own | L |
| Gods ne'er lend a helping hand | M |
| 'Tis by magic power alone | L |
| Thou canst reach the magic land | M |
