The Vision Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFDDFGDDHI JK| Sitting alone as one forsook | A |
| Close by a silver shedding brook | A |
| With hands held up to love I wept | B |
| And after sorrows spent I slept | B |
| Then in a vision I did see | C |
| A glorious form appear to me | C |
| A virgin's face she had her dress | D |
| Was like a sprightly Spartaness | D |
| A silver bow with green silk strung | E |
| Down from her comely shoulders hung | E |
| And as she stood the wanton air | F |
| Dangled the ringlets of her hair | F |
| Her legs were such Diana shows | D |
| When tucked up she a hunting goes | D |
| With buskins shortened to descry | F |
| The happy dawning of her thigh | G |
| Which when I saw I made access | D |
| To kiss that tempting nakedness | D |
| But she forbade me with a wand | H |
| Of myrtle she had in her hand | I |
| And chiding me said Hence remove | J |
| Herrick thou art too coarse to love | K |
