The Haunted Woodland Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDED FGHGIG JIIICI KLMLNL JONPIP QNINRN

Here in the golden darknessA
And green night of the woodsB
A flitting form I followC
A shadow that eludesD
Or is it but the phantomE
Of former forest moodsD
-
The phantom of some fancyF
I knew when I was youngG
And in my dreaming boyhoodH
The wildwood flow'rs amongG
Young face to face with FaeryI
Spoke in no unknown tongueG
-
Blue were her eyes and goldenJ
The nimbus of her hairI
And crimson as a flowerI
Her mouth that kissed me thereI
That kissed and bade me followC
And smiled away my careI
-
A magic and a marvelK
Lived in her word and lookL
As down among the blossomsM
She sate me by the brookL
And read me wonder legendsN
In Nature's Story BookL
-
Loved fairy tales forgottenJ
She never reads againO
Of beautiful enchantmentsN
That haunt the sun and rainP
And in the wind and waterI
Chant a mysterious strainP
-
And so I search the forestQ
Wherein my spirit feelsN
In tree or stream or flowerI
Herself she still concealsN
But now she flies who followedR
Whom Earth no more revealsN
