At Midnight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA AAAA BABA CACA AAAAAt midnight in the trysting wood | A |
I wandered by the waterside | A |
When soft as mist before me stood | A |
My sweetheart who had died | A |
- | |
But so unchanged was she meseemed | A |
That I had only dreamed her dead | A |
Glad in her eyes the love light gleamed | A |
Her lips were warm and red | A |
- | |
What though the stars shone shadowy through | B |
Her form as by my side she went | A |
And by her feet no dropp of dew | B |
Was stirred no blade was bent | A |
- | |
What though through her white loveliness | C |
The wildflower dimmed the moonlight paled | A |
Real to my touch she was no less | C |
Than when the earth prevailed | A |
- | |
She took my hand My heart beat wild | A |
She kissed my mouth I bowed my head | A |
Then gazing in my eyes she smiled | A |
'When did'st thou die ' she said | A |
