Lines: Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGG| I saw or dreamed I saw her sitting lone | A |
| Her neck bent like a swan's her brown eyes thrown | A |
| On some sweet poem his I think who sings | B |
| Oenone or the hapless Maud no rings | B |
| Flashed from the dainty fingers which held back | C |
| Her beautiful blonde hair Ah would these black | C |
| Locks of mine own were mingling with it now | D |
| And these warm lips were pressed against her brow | D |
| And as she turned a page methought I heard | E |
| Hush could it be a faintly murmured word | E |
| It was so softly dwelt on such a smile | F |
| Played on her brow and wreathed her lip the while | F |
| That my heart leaped to hear it and a flame | G |
| Burned on my forehead Sa'ra 't was my name | G |
