Melancholy. A Fragment. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DDEE FGFGH| Stretched on a mouldered Abbey's broadest wall | A |
| Where ruining ivies propped the ruins steep | B |
| Her folded arms wrapping her tattered pall | C |
| Had Melancholy mused herself to sleep | B |
| - | |
| The fern was pressed beneath her hair | D |
| The dark green adder's tongue was there | D |
| And still as past the flagging sea gale weak | E |
| The long lank leaf bowed fluttering o'er her cheek | E |
| - | |
| That pallid cheek was flushed her eager look | F |
| Beamed eloquent in slumber Inly wrought | G |
| Imperfect sounds her moving lips forsook | F |
| And her bent forehead worked with troubled thought | G |
| Strange was the dream | H |
