A Roundelay Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDE FFGGDE HHEEDE| Wide thro' the azure blue and bright | A |
| Serenely floats the lamp of night | A |
| The sleeping waves forget to move | B |
| And silent is the cedar grove | C |
| Each breeze suspended seems to say | D |
| Now Leline for thy Roundelay | E |
| - | |
| My Delia's lids are clos'd in rest | F |
| Ah were her pillow but my breast | F |
| Go dreams one gentle word impart | G |
| In whispers place me by her heart | G |
| While near her door I'll fondly stray | D |
| And sooth her with my Roundelay | E |
| - | |
| But ah the Night draws in her shade | H |
| And glimm'ring stars reluctant fade | H |
| Yet sleep my love nor may'st thou feel | E |
| The pangs which griefs like mine reveal | E |
| Adieu for Morning's on his way | D |
| And bids me close my Roundelay | E |
