Bellambi's Maid Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEF GHGHHHHHIFIF JKLKMNMNOFOF| Amongst the thunder splintered caves | A |
| On Ocean's long and windy shore | B |
| I catch the voice of dying waves | A |
| Below the ridges old and hoar | B |
| The spray descends in silver showers | C |
| And lovely whispers come and go | D |
| Like echoes from the happy hours | C |
| I never more may hope to know | D |
| The low mimosa droops with locks | E |
| Of yellow hair in dewy glade | F |
| While far above the caverned rocks | E |
| I hear the dark Bellambi's Maid | F |
| - | |
| The moonlight dreams upon the sail | G |
| That drives the restless ship to sea | H |
| The clouds troop past the mountain vale | G |
| And sink like spirits down the lee | H |
| The foggy peak of Corrimal | H |
| Uplifted bears the pallid glow | H |
| That streams from yonder airy hall | H |
| And robes the sleeping hills below | H |
| The wandering meteors of the sky | I |
| Beneath the distant waters wade | F |
| While mystic music hurries by | I |
| The songs of dark Bellambi's Maid | F |
| - | |
| Why comes your voice you lonely One | J |
| Along the wild harp's wailing strings | K |
| Have not our hours of meeting gone | L |
| Like fading dreams on phantom wings | K |
| Are not the grasses round your grave | M |
| Yet springing green and fresh to view | N |
| And does the gleam on Ocean's wave | M |
| Tide gladness now to me and you | N |
| Oh cold and cheerless falls the night | O |
| On withered hearts and hopes decayed | F |
| And I have seen but little light | O |
| Since died the dark Bellambi's Maid | F |
