The Somnambulist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECFE| Oaks and a water By the water eyes | A |
| Ice green and steadfast as cold stars and hair | B |
| Yellow as eyes deep in a she wolf's lair | B |
| And limbs like darkness that the lightning dyes | A |
| The humped oaks stand black under iron skies | A |
| The dry wind whirls the dead leaves everywhere | B |
| Wild on the water falls a vulture glare | B |
| Of moon and wild the circling raven flies | A |
| Again the power of this thing hath laid | C |
| Illusion on him and he seems to hear | D |
| A sweet voice calling him beyond his gates | E |
| To longed for love he comes each forest glade | C |
| Seems reaching out white arms to draw him near | F |
| Nearer and nearer to the death that waits | E |
