The Hamadryad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCC DEFEEEEEE CCCCCECEE| She stood among the longest ferns | A |
| The valley held and in her hand | B |
| One blossom like the light that burns | A |
| Vermilion o'er a sunset land | B |
| And round her hair a twisted band | B |
| Of pink pierced mountain laurel blooms | C |
| And darker than dark pools that stand | B |
| Below the star communing glooms | C |
| Her eyes beneath her hair's perfumes | C |
| - | |
| I saw the moonbeam sandals on | D |
| Her flowerlike feet that seemed too chaste | E |
| To tread true gold and like the dawn | F |
| On splendid peaks that lord a waste | E |
| Of solitude lost gods have graced | E |
| Her face she stood there faultless hipped | E |
| Bound as with cestused silver chased | E |
| With acorn cup and crown and tipped | E |
| With oak leaves whence her chiton slipped | E |
| - | |
| Limbs that the gods call loveliness | C |
| The grace and glory of all Greece | C |
| Wrought in one marble shape were less | C |
| Than her perfection 'Mid the trees | C |
| I saw her and time seemed to cease | C |
| For me And lo I lived my old | E |
| Greek life again of classic ease | C |
| Barbarian as the myths that rolled | E |
| Me back into the Age of Gold | E |
