The Romanza Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCB ADEED AFCCF AGHHG AIHHI AJEEJ| In a kingdom of mist and moonlight | A |
| Or ever the world was known | B |
| Past leagues of unsailed water | C |
| There reigned a king with a daughter | C |
| That shone like a starry stone | B |
| - | |
| The day grew out o' the moonlight | A |
| But never a day was there | D |
| The king was wise as hoary | E |
| And his daughter like the glory | E |
| Of seven kingdoms fair | D |
| - | |
| And the night dimmed over the moonlight | A |
| And ever the mist was gray | F |
| With slips of dull stars bluer | C |
| Where the princess met her wooer | C |
| A page like the month o' May | F |
| - | |
| In her eyes the mist and the moonlight | A |
| In hair of a crumpled gold | G |
| By day they wooed a hawking | H |
| A hawking laughed a mocking | H |
| The good white king and old | G |
| - | |
| On the sea the mist and the moonlight | A |
| Poured pale to the lilies' tips | I |
| At eve when the hawks were feeding | H |
| In courts to the kennels leading | H |
| He kissed her mouth and lips | I |
| - | |
| On towers the mist and the moonlight | A |
| On a dead face staring up | J |
| His kingly couch was ready | E |
| But and her hand was steady | E |
| Giving the poisoned cup | J |
