Blondine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GBGBDHIH JBJBKLML| I wandered through a careless world | A |
| Deceived when not deceiving | B |
| And never gave an idle heart | C |
| The rapture of believing | B |
| The smiles the sighs the glancing eyes | D |
| Of many hundred comers | E |
| Swept by me light as rose leaves blown | F |
| From long forgotten summers | E |
| - | |
| But never eyes so deep and bright | G |
| And loyal in their seeming | B |
| And never smiles so full of light | G |
| Have shone upon my dreaming | B |
| The looks and lips so gay and wise | D |
| The thousand charms that wreathe them | H |
| Almost I dare believe that truth | I |
| Is safely shrined beneath them | H |
| - | |
| Ah do they shine those eyes of thine | J |
| But for our own misleading | B |
| The fresh young smile so pure and fine | J |
| Does it but mock our reading | B |
| Then faith is fled and trust is dead | K |
| And unbelief grows duty | L |
| If fraud can wield the triple arm | M |
| Of youth and wit and beauty | L |
