Will O' The Wisps Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAC DEFFG HGHHG IGIIG JKJJ LMLLM| Beyond the barley meads and hay | A |
| What was the light that beckoned there | B |
| That made her sweet lips smile and say | A |
| 'Oh busk me in a gown of May | A |
| And knot red poppies in my hair ' | C |
| - | |
| Over the meadow and the wood | D |
| What was the voice that filled her ears | E |
| That sent into pale cheeks the blood | F |
| Until each seemed a wild brier bud | F |
| Mown down by mowing harvesters | G |
| - | |
| Beyond the orchard down the hill | H |
| The water flows the water whirls | G |
| And there they found her past all ill | H |
| A plaintive face but smiling still | H |
| The cresses caught among her curls | G |
| - | |
| At twilight in the willow glen | I |
| What sound is that the silence hears | G |
| When all the dusk is hushed again | I |
| And homeward from the fields strong men | I |
| And women go the harvesters | G |
| - | |
| One seeks the place where she is laid | J |
| Where violets bloom from year to year | K |
| 'O sunny head O bird like maid | J |
| The orchard blossoms fall and fade | J |
| And I am lonely lonely here ' | - |
| - | |
| Two stars burn bright above the vale | L |
| They seem to him the eyes of Ruth | M |
| The low moon rises very pale | L |
| As if she too had heard the tale | L |
| All heartbreak of a maid and youth | M |
