Lurline Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDDDE FGFGHHHE GIGICCCE

Inscribed to Madame Lucy EscottA
-
-
As you glided and glided before us that timeB
A mystical magical maidenC
We fancied we looked on a face from the climeB
Where the poets have builded their AidennC
And oh the sweet shadows And oh the warm gleamsD
Which lay on the land of our beautiful dreamsD
While we walked by the margins of musical streamsD
And heard your wild warbling around usE
-
We forgot what we were when we stood with the treesF
Near the banks of those silvery watersG
As ever in fragments they came on the breezeF
The songs of old Rhine and his daughtersG
And then you would pass with those radiant eyesH
Which flashed like a light in the tropical skiesH
And ah the bright thoughts that would sparkle and riseH
While we heard your wild warbling around usE
-
Will you ever fly back to this city of oursG
With your harp and your voice and your beautyI
God knows we rejoice when we meet with such flowersG
On the hard road of Life and of DutyI
Oh come as you did with that face and that toneC
For we wistfully look to the hours which have flownC
And long for a glimpse of the gladness that shoneC
When we heard your wild warbling around usE
