Thou Hast Woven The Spell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGFGDHHH| Thou hast woven the spell that hath bound me | A |
| Through all the sad changes of years | B |
| And the smiles that I wore when I found thee | A |
| Have faded and melted in tears | C |
| Like the poor wounded fawn from the mountain | D |
| That seeks out the clear silver tide | E |
| I have lingered in vain at the fountain | D |
| Of hope with a shaft in my side | E |
| - | |
| Thou hast taught me that Love's rosy fetters | F |
| A pang from the thorns may impart | G |
| That the coinage of vows and of letters | F |
| Comes not from the mint of the heart | G |
| Like the lone bird that flutters her pinion | D |
| And warbles in bondage her strain | H |
| I have struggled to fly thy domain | H |
| But find that the struggle is vain | H |
