Myth And Romance Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDADDDDAD DDDDDDDEDDDE DEDEEDEFEEDF DDDDDDDDEEDD| When I go forth to greet the glad faced Spring | A |
| Just at the time of opening apple buds | B |
| When brooks are laughing winds are whispering | A |
| On babbling hillsides or in warbling woods | C |
| There is an unseen presence that eludes | D |
| Perhaps a Dryad in whose tresses cling | A |
| The loamy odors of old solitudes | D |
| Who from her beechen doorway calls and leads | D |
| My soul to follow now with dimpling words | D |
| Of leaves and now with syllables of birds | D |
| While here and there is it her limbs that swing | A |
| Or restless sunlight on the moss and weeds | D |

| Or haply 't is a Naiad now who slips | D |
| Like some white lily from her fountain's glass | D |
| While from her dripping hair and breasts and hips | D |
| The moisture rains cool music on the grass | D |
| Her have I heard and followed yet alas | D |
| Have seen no more than the wet ray that dips | D |
| The shivered waters wrinkling where I pass | D |
| But in the liquid light where she doth hide | E |
| I have beheld the azure of her gaze | D |
| Smiling and where the orbing ripple plays | D |
| Among her minnows I have heard her lips | D |
| Bubbling make merry by the waterside | E |

| Or now it is an Oread whose eyes | D |
| Are constellated dusk who stands confessed | E |
| As naked as a flow'r her heart's surprise | D |
| Like morning's rose mantling her brow and breast | E |
| She shrinking from my presence all distressed | E |
| Stands for a startled moment ere she flies | D |
| Her deep hair blowing up the mountain crest | E |
| Wild as a mist that trails along the dawn | F |
| And is't her footfalls lure me or the sound | E |
| Of airs that stir the crisp leaf on the ground | E |
| And is't her body glimmers on yon rise | D |
| Or dog wood blossoms snowing on the lawn | F |

| Now't is a Satyr piping serenades | D |
| On a slim reed Now Pan and Faun advance | D |
| Beneath green hollowed roofs of forest glades | D |
| Their feet gone mad with music now perchance | D |
| Sylvanus sleeping on whose leafy trance | D |
| The Nymphs stand gazing in dim ambuscades | D |
| Of sun embodied perfume Myth Romance | D |
| Where'er I turn reach out bewildering arms | D |
| Compelling me to follow Day and night | E |
| I hear their voices and behold the light | E |
| Of their divinity that still evades | D |
| And still allures me in a thousand forms | D |
