Stanzas For Music Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFGHCIJ KLMLNOPOQCIC QRSRAET FCI| I loved a little maiden | A |
| In the golden years gone by | B |
| She lived in a mill as they all do | C |
| There is doubtless a reason why | B |
| But she faded in the autumn | D |
| When the leaves began to fade | E |
| And the night before she faded | F |
| These words to me she said | G |
| 'Do not forget me Henry | H |
| Be noble and brave and true | C |
| But I must not bide for the world is wide | I |
| And the sky above is blue ' | J |
| - | |
| So I said farewell to my darling | K |
| And sailed away and came back | L |
| And the good ship Jane was in port again | M |
| And I found that they all loved Jack | L |
| But Polly and I were sweethearts | N |
| As all the neighbours know | O |
| Before I met with the mill girl | P |
| Twenty years ago | O |
| So I thought I would go and see her | Q |
| But alas she had faded too | C |
| She could not bide for the world was wide | I |
| And the sky above was blue | C |
| - | |
| And now I can only remember | Q |
| The maid the maid of the mill | R |
| And Polly and one or two others | S |
| In the churchyard over the hill | R |
| And I sadly ask the question | A |
| As I weep in the yew tree's shade | E |
| With my elbow on one of their tombstones | T |
| 'Ah why did they all of them fade ' | - |
| And the answer I half expected | F |
| Comes from the solemn yew | C |
| 'They could none of them bide for the world was wide | I |
| And the sky above was blue ' | - |
