Down From The Mountain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EEEB FF| As down Mount Emerald at eve I came | A |
| The mountain moon went all the way with me | B |
| Backward I looked to see the heights aflame | A |
| With a pale light that glimmered eerily | B |
| - | |
| A little lad undid the rustic latch | C |
| As hand in hand your cottage we did gain | D |
| Where green limp tendrils at our cloaks did catch | C |
| And dim bamboos o'erhung a shadowy lane | D |
| - | |
| Gaily I cried Here may we rest our fill | E |
| Then choicest wines we quaffed and cheerily | E |
| The Wind among the Pines we sang until | E |
| A few faint stars hung in the Galaxy | B |
| - | |
| Merry were you my friend and drunk was I | F |
| Blissfully letting all the world go by | F |
