An Idyll Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFG AABB

You stay for a while beside me with your beauty young and rareA
Though your light limbs are as limber as the foal's that follows the mareA
Brow fair and young and tender where thought has scarce begunB
Hair bright as the breast of the eagle when he strains up to the sunB
-
In the space of a broken castle I found you on a dayC
When the call of the new come cuckoo went with me all the wayC
You stood by un mortised stones that were rough and black with ageD
The fawn beloved of the hunter in the panther's broken cageD
-
And we went down together by paths your childhood knewE
Remote you went beside me like the spirit of the dewE
Hard were the hedgerows still sloe bloom was their scanty dowerF
You slipped it within your bosom the bloom that scarce is flowerG
-
And now you stay beside me with your beauty young and rareA
Though your light limbs are as limber as the foal's that follows the mareA
Brow fair and young and tender where thought has scarce begunB
Hair bright as the breast of the eagle when he strains up to the sunB
