Sylph's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDDCEAC FGBBGHHIJJI KLKKLBBMNNM| Fly with me my mortal love | A |
| Oh haste to realms of purer day | B |
| Where we form the morning dew | C |
| And the rainbow's varied hue | C |
| And give the sun each golden ray | B |
| Oh stay no more | D |
| On this earthly shore | D |
| Where Joy is sick of the senseless crew | C |
| But taste the bliss we prove | E |
| In the starry plains above | A |
| Queens of the meads of ether blue | C |
| - | |
| When the moon is riding high | F |
| And trembles in the lake below | G |
| Then we hover in its ray | B |
| And amid the sparkles play | B |
| While rippling waves of silver flow | G |
| As pure and bright | H |
| As that gleaming light | H |
| We watch the eddying circle's bound | I |
| And within those lucid rings | J |
| We dip our shining wings | J |
| And scatter showers of radiance round | I |
| - | |
| - | |
| When softly falls the summer shower | K |
| Fresh'ning all the earth with green | L |
| From the cup of many a flower | K |
| While the purple shadows lower | K |
| We drink the crystal tears unseen | L |
| Then come away | B |
| No more delay | B |
| Our joys and our revels haste to share | M |
| Behold where near thee wait | N |
| As subjects of our state | N |
| The shadowy spirits of the air | M |
