Nightingales Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE GGHAAH| Beautiful must be the mountains whence ye come | A |
| And bright in the fruitful valleys the streams wherefrom | A |
| Ye learn your song | B |
| Where are those starry woods O might I wander there | C |
| Among the flowers which in that heavenly air | C |
| Bloom the year long | B |
| - | |
| Nay barren are those mountains and spent the streams | D |
| Our song is the voice of desire that haunts our dreams | D |
| A throe of the heart | E |
| Whose pining visions dim forbidden hopes profound | F |
| No dying cadence nor long sigh can sound | F |
| For all our art | E |
| - | |
| Alone aloud in the raptured ear of men | G |
| We pour our dark nocturnal secret and then | G |
| As night is withdrawn | H |
| From these sweet springing meads and bursting boughs of May | A |
| Dream while the innumerable choir of day | A |
| Welcome the dawn | H |
