Two Hazel Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DBDB EBEB ABAB| WAS ever a bard in such pitiful plight | A |
| Was ever such seen by yon stars in the skies | B |
| A pit or a bed by day and by night | A |
| I'm plagued by the magic of two hazel eyes | B |
| - | |
| A leaf in a whirlwind I'm sent to and fro | C |
| And peace panic stricken my bosom still flies | B |
| For rest I implore but my portion below | C |
| Is the rest killing magic of two hazel eyes | B |
| - | |
| The world it goes up and the world it goes down | D |
| And the lofty descend and the lowly arise | B |
| But fortune the filter may smile or may frown | D |
| I feel but the magic of two hazel eyes | B |
| - | |
| Once blithe as a linnet I lilted my lay | E |
| And won the applause of both foolish and wise | B |
| Now deaf dumb derided I go on my way | E |
| Bewitched by the magic of two hazel eyes | B |
| - | |
| O Annie wouldst thou but look down on my plight | A |
| And pity my case and no longer despise | B |
| I'd dance in delight I'd sing day and night | A |
| And the theme of my lays be thy two hazel eyes | B |
