Spirit's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCAA DDEE FFEE BGHH IDJJKL| 'Tis thy Spirit calls thee come away | A |
| I have sought thee through the weary day | A |
| I have dived in the glassy stream for thee | B |
| I have gone wherever a spirit might be | B |
| - | |
| In the earth where di'monds hide | C |
| In the deep where pearls abide | C |
| In the air where rainbows glancing gay | A |
| Smile the tears of the sun away | A |
| - | |
| I have wandered 'mid the starry zone | D |
| Through a world by spirits only known | D |
| Where 'tis bliss to sail in that balmy air | E |
| But to me 'twas joyless till thou wert there | E |
| - | |
| I traced the footsteps of the fawn | F |
| As it bounded over the dewy lawn | F |
| For the print it left was so light and fair | E |
| I deem'd thy step had linger'd there | E |
| - | |
| I heard a sound of melody | B |
| Sad and sweet as thy tender sigh | G |
| 'Twas the night bird's tone but it smote my ear | H |
| For I thought thy own soft voice to hear | H |
| - | |
| I see a form it is gliding on | I |
| Like a cloud that sails in the sky alone | D |
| And the stars gleam through its veil of white | J |
| Oh can it be aught of earth so bright | J |
| It beckons me on to my airy home | K |
| My own lov'd spirit I come I come | L |
