Geraldine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFFCC GGHHCC| My head is filled with olden rhymes beside this moaning sea | A |
| But many and many a day has gone since I was dear to thee | A |
| I know my passion fades away and therefore oft regret | B |
| That some who love indeed can part and in the years forget | B |
| Ah through the twilights when we stood the wattle trees between | C |
| We did not dream of such a time as this fair Geraldine | C |
| I do not say that all has gone of passion and of pain | D |
| I yearn for many happy thoughts I shall not think again | E |
| And often when the wind is up and wailing round the eaves | F |
| You sigh for withered Purpose shred and scattered like the leaves | F |
| The Purpose blooming when we met each other on the green | C |
| The sunset heavy in your curls my golden Geraldine | C |
| - | |
| I think we lived a loftier life through hours of Long Ago | G |
| For in the largened evening earth our spirits seemed to grow | G |
| Well that has passed and here I stand upon a lonely place | H |
| While Night is stealing round the land like Time across my face | H |
| But I can calmly recollect our shadowy parting scene | C |
| And swooning thoughts that had no voice no utterance Geraldine | C |
