Dark Chestnut Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFGFHF IJKJHL| Thou shaking thy dark shadows down | A |
| Like leaves before the first leaves fall | B |
| Pourest upon the head of night | C |
| Her loveliest loveliness of all | B |
| Dark leaves that tremble | D |
| When soft airs unto softer call | B |
| - | |
| O darker softer fall her thoughts | E |
| Upon the cold fields of my mind | F |
| Weaving a quiet music there | G |
| Like leaf shapes trembling in least wind | F |
| Dark thoughts that linger | H |
| When the light's gone and the night's blind | F |
| - | |
| I see her there beneath your boughs | I |
| Dark chestnut though you see her not | J |
| Her white face and white hands are clear | K |
| As the moon in your stretched arms caught | J |
| But stranger clearer | H |
| The living shadows of her thought | L |
