Le Rossignol [english] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFFGGHHIIJJJK| Like to a swarm of birds with jarring cries | A |
| Descend on me my swarming memories | B |
| Light mid the yellow leaves that shake and sigh | C |
| Of the bowed alder that is even I | C |
| Brooding its shadow in the violet | D |
| Unprofitable river of Regret | E |
| They settle screaming Then the evil sound | F |
| By the moist wind's impatient hushing drowned | F |
| Dies by degrees till nothing more is heard | G |
| Save the lone singing of a single bird | G |
| Save the clear voice O singer sweetly done | H |
| Warbling the praises of the Absent One | H |
| And in the silence of a summer night | I |
| Sultry and splendid by a late moon's light | I |
| That sad and sallow peers above the hill | J |
| The humid hushing wind that ranges still | J |
| Rocks to a whispered sleepsong languidly | J |
| The bird lamenting and the shivering tree | K |
