The Wanderer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEEAA DDFGHI JJKKDD

Over the pool of sleepA
The night mists creepA
Then faint thin light and then clear dayB
Noontide and lingering afternoonC
Then that Wanderer the MoonC
Wandering her old wild wayB
-
How many spirits followD
Her in that dark hollowD
Like a lost lamb she roams on highE
Through the cold and soundless skyE
And stares down into her deepA
Reflection in the pool of sleepA
-
How many followD
Her in that lone hollowD
She sees them not nor would she hearF
Though both shape and sound were clearG
But stares stares into the poolH
Of her fear and beauty fullI
-
Far in strange gay skiesJ
She pales and diesJ
Forgetting that bright transitoryK
Reflection of astonished gloryK
Nor heeds the spirits that followD
Her into day's bright hollowD
