Lurline (inscribed To Madame Lucy Escott.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCD EFEFGGGD FHFHBBBD| As you glided and glided before us that time | A |
| A mystical magical maiden | B |
| We fancied we looked on a face from the clime | A |
| Where the poets have builded their Aidenn | B |
| And oh the sweet shadows And oh the warm gleams | C |
| Which lay on the land of our beautiful dreams | C |
| While we walked by the margins of musical streams | C |
| And heard your wild warbling around us | D |
| - | |
| We forgot what we were when we stood with the trees | E |
| Near the banks of those silvery waters | F |
| As ever in fragments they came on the breeze | E |
| The songs of old Rhine and his daughters | F |
| And then you would pass with those radiant eyes | G |
| Which flashed like a light in the tropical skies | G |
| And ah the bright thoughts that would sparkle and rise | G |
| While we heard your wild warbling around us | D |
| - | |
| Will you ever fly back to this city of ours | F |
| With your harp and your voice and your beauty | H |
| God knows we rejoice when we meet with such flowers | F |
| On the hard road of Life and of Duty | H |
| Oh come as you did with that face and that tone | B |
| For we wistfully look to the hours which have flown | B |
| And long for a glimpse of the gladness that shone | B |
| When we heard your wild warbling around us | D |
