Earl Mertoun's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDD EECCFF| There's a woman like a dewdrop she 's so purer than the purest | A |
| And her noble heart 's the noblest yes and her sure faith's the surest | B |
| And her eyes are dark and humid like the depth on depth of lustre | C |
| Hid i' the harebell while her tresses sunnier than the wild grape cluster | C |
| Gush in golden tinted plenty down her neck's rose misted marble | D |
| Then her voice's music call it the well's bubbling the bird's warble | D |
| - | |
| And this woman says 'My days were sunless and my nights were moonless | E |
| Parch'd the pleasant April herbage and the lark's heart's outbreak tuneless | E |
| If you loved me not ' And I who ah for words of flame adore her | C |
| Who am mad to lay my spirit prostrate palpably before her | C |
| I may enter at her portal soon as now her lattice takes me | F |
| And by noontide as by midnight make her mine as hers she makes me | F |
