Attributes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE BFB GHGH IJIJ KLK| I Saw the daughters of the Dawn come dancing o'er the hills | A |
| The winds of Morn danced with them oh and all the sylphs of air | B |
| I saw their ribboned roses blow their gowns of daffodils | A |
| As over eyes of sapphire tossed the wild gold of their hair | B |
| - | |
| I saw the summer of their feet imprint the earth with dew | C |
| And all the wildflowers open eyes in joy and wonderment | D |
| I saw the sunlight of their hands waved at each bird that flew | C |
| And all the birds as with one voice to their wild love gave vent | E |
| - | |
| 'And oh I' I said 'how fair you are I how fair how very fair | B |
| Oh leap my heart and laugh my heart as laughs and leaps the Dawn | F |
| Mount with the lark and sing with him and cast away your care | B |
| For love and life are come again and night and sorrow gone ' | - |

| I saw the acolytes of Eve the mystic sons of Night | G |
| Come pacing through the ancient wood in hoods of hodden grey | H |
| Their sombre cloaks were pinned with stars and each one bore a light | G |
| A moony lanthorn and a staff to help him on his way | H |
| - | |
| I heard their mantles rustle by their sandals' whispering sweep | I |
| And saw the wildflowers bow their heads and close their lovely eyes | J |
| I saw their shadows pass and pass and with them Dreams and Sleep | I |
| Like children with their father went in dim and ghostly guise | J |
| - | |
| 'And oh ' I said 'how sad you are how sad how wondrous sad | K |
| Oh hush my heart be still my heart and like the dark be dumb | L |
| Be as the wild rose there that dreams the perfect hour it had | K |
| And cares not if the day be past and death and darkness come ' | - |
