Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH| Sweet in her green dell the flower of beauty slumbers | A |
| Lull'd by the faint breezes sighing through her hair | B |
| Sleeps she and hears not the melancholy numbers | A |
| Breathed to my sad lute 'mid the lonely air | B |
| - | |
| Down from the high cliffs the rivulet is teeming | C |
| To wind round the willow banks that lure him from above | D |
| O that in tears from my rocky prison streaming | C |
| I too could glide to the bower of my love | D |
| - | |
| Ah where the woodbines with sleepy arms have wound her | E |
| Opes she her eyelids at the dream of my lay | F |
| Listening like the dove while the fountains echo round her | E |
| To her lost mate's call in the forests far away | F |
| - | |
| Come then my bird For the peace thou ever bearest | G |
| Still Heaven's messenger of comfort to me | H |
| Come this fond bosom O faithfullest and fairest | G |
| Bleeds with its death wound its wound of love for thee | H |
