Song. "on Gloomy Eve I Roam'd About" Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH| On gloomy eve I roam'd about | A |
| 'Neath Oxey's hazel bowers | B |
| While timid hares were darting out | A |
| To crop the dewy flowers | B |
| And soothing was the scene to me | C |
| Right pleased was my soul | D |
| My breast was calm as summer's sea | C |
| When waves forget to roll | D |
| - | |
| But short was even's placid smile | E |
| My startled soul to charm | F |
| When Nelly lightly skipt the stile | E |
| With milk pail on her arm | F |
| One careless look on me she flung | G |
| As bright as parting day | H |
| And like a hawk from covert sprung | G |
| It pounc'd my peace away | H |
