Mary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDADAA AEFEGHIAJ AKLKMNMAN AOPQRSRAS| One balmy summer night Mary | A |
| Just as the risen moon | B |
| Had thrown aside her fleecy veil | C |
| We left the gay saloon | B |
| And in a green sequestered spot | D |
| Beneath a drooping tree | A |
| Fond words were breathed by you forgot | D |
| That still are dear to me Mary | A |
| That still are dear to me | A |
| - | |
| Oh we were happy then Mary | A |
| Time lingered on his way | E |
| To crowd a lifetime in a night | F |
| Whole ages in a day | E |
| If star and sun would set and rise | G |
| Thus in our after years | H |
| The world would be a paradise | I |
| And not a vale of tears Mary | A |
| And not a vale of tears | J |
| - | |
| I live but in the past Mary | A |
| The glorious day of old | K |
| When love was hoarded in the heart | L |
| As misers hoard their gold | K |
| And often like a bridal train | M |
| To music soft and low | N |
| The by gone moments cross my brain | M |
| In all their summer glow Mary | A |
| In all their summer glow | N |
| - | |
| These visions form and fade Mary | A |
| As age comes stealing on | O |
| To bring the light and leave the shade | P |
| Of days for ever gone | Q |
| The poet's brow may wear at last | R |
| The bays that round it fall | S |
| But love has rose buds of the past | R |
| Far dearer than them all Mary | A |
| Far dearer than them all | S |
