Stanzas Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EBEBFF GHIHJJ FKLKAM| STRANGE that one lightly whispered tone | A |
| Is far far sweeter unto me | B |
| Than all the sounds that kiss the earth | C |
| Or breathe along the sea | B |
| But lady when thy voice I greet | D |
| Not heavenly music seems so sweet | D |
| - | |
| I look upon the fair blue skies | E |
| And naught but empty air I see | B |
| But when I turn me to thin eyes | E |
| It seemeth unto me | B |
| Ten thousand angels spread their wings | F |
| Within those little azure rings | F |
| - | |
| The lily bath the softest leaf | G |
| That ever western breeze bath fanned | H |
| But thou shalt have the tender flower | I |
| So I may take thy hand | H |
| That little hand to me doth yield | J |
| More joy than all the broidered field | J |
| - | |
| O lady there be many things | F |
| That seem right fair below above | K |
| But sure not one among them all | L |
| Is half so sweet as love | K |
| Let us not pay our vows alone | A |
| But join two altars both in one | M |
