Song.-if Those Dark Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIJI| If those dark eyes have gazed on me | A |
| Unconscious of their power | B |
| The glance in secret ecstasy | A |
| I've treasured many an hour | B |
| If that soft voice a single word | C |
| Has breathed for me to hear | D |
| Like Heaven's entrancing airs the chord | E |
| Resounded on my ear | D |
| - | |
| And yet alas too well I knew | F |
| That love or hope was vain | G |
| The fountain whence delight I drew | F |
| Would end in yielding pain | G |
| My folly and my peace at once | H |
| A moment could destroy | I |
| It bade me every wish renounce | J |
| And broke my dream of joy | I |
