Starlight Recollections Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJKJLMLM| 'Twas night Near the murmuring Saone | A |
| We met with no witnesses by | B |
| But such as resplendently shone | A |
| In the blue tinted vault of the sky | B |
| Your head on my bosom was laid | C |
| As you said you would ever be mine | D |
| And I promised to love dearest maid | C |
| And worship alone at your shrine | D |
| - | |
| Your love on my heart gently fell | E |
| As the dew on the flowers at eve | F |
| Whose blossoms with gratitude swell | E |
| A blessing to give and receive | F |
| And I knew by the glow on your cheek | G |
| And the rapture you could not control | H |
| No power had language to speak | G |
| The faith or content of your soul | H |
| - | |
| I love you as none ever loved | I |
| As the steel to the star I am true | J |
| And I dearest maiden have proved | K |
| That none ever loved me but you | J |
| Till memory loses her power | L |
| Or the sands of existence have run | M |
| I'll remember the star lighted hour | L |
| That mingled two hearts into one | M |
