Down From The Mountain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EEEB FFAs 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 |
