How It Fell Calm On Summer Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI| My Lady's rest was calm and deep | A |
| She had been gazing at the moon | B |
| And thus it chanced she fell asleep | A |
| One balmy night in June | B |
| - | |
| Freebooter winds stole richest smells | C |
| From roses bursting in the gloom | D |
| And rifled half blown daffodils | E |
| And lilies of perfume | D |
| - | |
| These dainty robbers of the South | F |
| Found beauty sunk in deep repose | G |
| And seized upon her crimson mouth | F |
| Thinking her lips a rose | G |
| - | |
| The wooing winds made love full fast | H |
| To rouse her up in vain they tried | I |
| They kist and kist her till at last | H |
| In ecstasy they died | I |
