In A Vale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD EFEEF GHGGH IJIIJ| When I was young we dwelt in a vale | A |
| By a misty fen that rang all night | B |
| And thus it was the maidens pale | A |
| I knew so well whose garments trail | A |
| Across the reeds to a window light | B |
| - | |
| The fen had every kind of bloom | C |
| And for every kind there was a face | D |
| And a voice that has sounded in my room | C |
| Across the sill from the outer gloom | C |
| Each came singly unto her place | D |
| - | |
| But all came every night with the mist | E |
| And often they brought so much to say | F |
| Of things of moment to which they wist | E |
| One so lonely was fain to list | E |
| That the stars were almost faded away | F |
| - | |
| Before the last went heavy with dew | G |
| Back to the place from which she came | H |
| Where the bird was before it flew | G |
| Where the flower was before it grew | G |
| Where bird and flower were one and the same | H |
| - | |
| And thus it is I know so well | I |
| Why the flower has odor the bird has song | J |
| You have only to ask me and I can tell | I |
| No not vainly there did I dwell | I |
| Nor vainly listen all the night long | J |
