Bright Star, Would I Were Steadfast As Thou Art Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACDCEFAFAGG| Bright star would I were steadfast as thou art | A |
| Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night | B |
| And watching with eternal lids apart | A |
| Like nature's patient sleepless Eremite | A |
| The moving waters at their priestlike task | C |
| Of pure ablution round earth's human shores | D |
| Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask | C |
| Of snow upon the mountains and the moors | E |
| No yet still steadfast still unchangeable | F |
| Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast | A |
| To feel for ever its soft fall and swell | F |
| Awake for ever in a sweet unrest | A |
| Still still to hear her tender taken breath | G |
| And so live ever or else swoon to death | G |
