Keats Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCCDCThe young Endymion sleeps Endymion's sleep | A |
The shepherd boy whose tale was left half told | B |
The solemn grove uplifts its shield of gold | B |
To the red rising moon and loud and deep | A |
The nightingale is singing from the steep | A |
It is midsummer but the air is cold | B |
Can it be death Alas beside the fold | B |
A shepherd's pipe lies shattered near his sheep | A |
Lo in the moonlight gleams a marble white | C |
On which I read Here lieth one whose name | D |
Was writ in water And was this the meed | C |
Of his sweet singing Rather let me write | C |
The smoking flax before it burst to flame | D |
Was quenched by death and broken the bruised reed | C |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
