To Eva Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DEFGGH IJIJ CKLK MNON| O Fair and stately maid whose eye | A |
| Was kindled in the upper sky | A |
| At the same torch that lighted mine | B |
| For so I must interpret still | C |
| Thy sweet dominion o'er my will | C |
| A sympathy divine | B |
| - | |
| Ah let me blameless gaze upon | D |
| Features that seem in heart my own | E |
| Nor fear those watchful sentinels | F |
| Which charm the more their glance forbids | G |
| Chaste glowing underneath their lids | G |
| With fire that draws while it repels | H |
| - | |
| Thine eyes still shined for me though far | I |
| I lonely roved the land or sea | J |
| As I behold yon evening star | I |
| Which yet beholds not me | J |
| - | |
| This morn I climbed the misty hill | C |
| And roamed the pastures through | K |
| How danced thy form before my path | L |
| Amidst the deep eyed dew | K |
| - | |
| When the red bird spread his sable wing | M |
| And showed his side of flame | N |
| When the rose bud ripened to the rose | O |
| In both I read thy name | N |
