He And I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDB EFEFGGGF HBHBEEEB IJKJLMMJ ABABEEEB| Just drifting on together | A |
| He and I | B |
| As through the balmy weather | A |
| Of July | B |
| Drift two thistle tufts imbedded | C |
| Each in each by zephyrs wedded | D |
| Touring upward giddy headed | D |
| For the sky | B |
| - | |
| And veering up and onward | E |
| Do we seem | F |
| Forever drifting dawnward | E |
| In a dream | F |
| Where we meet song birds that know us | G |
| And the winds their kisses blow us | G |
| While the years flow far below us | G |
| Like a stream | F |
| - | |
| And we are happy very | H |
| He and I | B |
| Aye even glad and merry | H |
| Though on high | B |
| The heavens are sometimes shrouded | E |
| By the midnight storm and clouded | E |
| Till the pallid moon is crowded | E |
| From the sky | B |
| - | |
| My spirit ne'er expresses | I |
| Any choice | J |
| But to clothe him with caresses | K |
| And rejoice | J |
| And as he laughs it is in | L |
| Such a tone the moonbeams glisten | M |
| And the stars come out to listen | M |
| To his voice | J |
| - | |
| And so whate'er the weather | A |
| He and I | B |
| With our lives linked thus together | A |
| Float and fly | B |
| As two thistle tufts imbedded | E |
| Each in each by zephyrs wedded | E |
| Touring upward giddy headed | E |
| For the sky | B |
