The Maiden Speaks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| How grave thou lookest loved one wherefore so | A |
| Thy marble image seems a type of thee | B |
| Like it no sign of life thou giv'st to me | B |
| Compared with thee the stone appears to glow | A |
| Behind his shield in ambush lurks the foe | A |
| The friend's brow all unruffled we should see | B |
| I seek thee but thou seek'st away to flee | B |
| Fix'd as this sculptured figure learn to grow | A |
| Tell me to which should I the preference pay | C |
| Must I from both with coldness meet alone | D |
| The one is lifeless thou with life art blest | E |
| In short no longer to throw words away | C |
| I'll fondy kiss and kiss and kiss this stone | D |
| Till thou dost tear me hence with envious breast | E |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
