The Serenade Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCC| The midnight is not more bewildering | A |
| To her drowsed eyes than to her ears the sound | B |
| Of dim sweet singing voices interwound | B |
| With purl of flute and subtle twang of string | A |
| Strained through the lattice where the roses cling | A |
| And with their fragrance waft the notes around | B |
| Her haunted senses Thirsting beyond bound | B |
| Of her slow yielding dreams the lilt and swing | A |
| Of the mysterious delirious tune | C |
| She drains like some strange opiate with awed eyes | D |
| Upraised against her casement where aswoon | C |
| The stars fail from her sight and up the skies | D |
| Of alien azure rolls the full round moon | C |
| Like some vast bubble blown of summer noon | C |
