Rapture -- To Laura Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFG HHIJJI KLBIMB| From earth I seem to wing my flight | A |
| And sun myself in Heaven's pure light | A |
| When thy sweet gaze meets mine | B |
| I dream I quaff ethereal dew | C |
| When my own form I mirrored view | C |
| In those blue eyes divine | B |
| - | |
| Blest notes from Paradise afar | D |
| Or strains from some benignant star | D |
| Enchant my ravished ear | E |
| My Muse feels then the shepherd's hour | F |
| When silvery tones of magic power | F |
| Escape those lips so dear | G |
| - | |
| Young Loves around thee fan their wings | H |
| Behind the maddened fir tree springs | H |
| As when by Orpheus fired | I |
| The poles whirl round with swifter motion | J |
| When in the dance like waves o'er Ocean | J |
| Thy footsteps float untired | I |
| - | |
| Thy look if it but beam with love | K |
| Could make the lifeless marble move | L |
| And hearts in rocks enshrine | B |
| My visions to reality | I |
| Will turn if Laura in thine eye | M |
| I read that thou art mine | B |
