To Some Ladies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDEE AFAF AEAE AGAG GHGH IEIEWhat though while the wonders of nature exploring | A |
I cannot your light mazy footsteps attend | B |
Nor listen to accents that almost adoring | A |
Bless Cynthia's face the enthusiast s friend | B |
- | |
Yet over the steep whence the mountain stream rushes | C |
With you kindest friends in idea I rove | D |
Mark the clear tumbling crystal its passionate gushes | E |
Its spray that the wild flower kindly bedews | E |
- | |
Why linger you so the wild labyrinth strolling | A |
Why breathless unable your bliss to declare | F |
Ah you list to the nightingale s tender condoling | A |
Responsive to sylphs in the moon beamy air | F |
- | |
'Tis morn and the flowers with dew are yet drooping | A |
I see you are treading the verge of the sea | E |
And now ah I see it you just now are stooping | A |
To pick up the keep sake intended for me | E |
- | |
If a cherub on pinions of silver descending | A |
Had brought me a gem from the fret work of heaven | G |
And smiles with his star cheering voice sweetly blending | A |
The blessings of Tighe had melodiously given | G |
- | |
It had not created a warmer emotion | G |
Than the present fair nymphs I was blest with from you | H |
Than the shell from the bright golden sands of the ocean | G |
Which the emerald waves at your feet gladly threw | H |
- | |
For indeed 'tis a sweet and peculiar pleasure | I |
And blissful is he who such happiness finds | E |
To possess but a span of the hour of leisure | I |
In elegant pure and aerial minds | E |
