Galahad In The Castle Of The Maidens Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBCCBDEEFDFTo the maiden with the hidden face in Abbey's painting | A |
- | |
The other maidens raised their eyes to him | B |
Who stumbled in before them when the fight | C |
Had left him victor with a victor's right | C |
I think his eyes with quick hot tears grew dim | B |
He scarcely saw her swaying white and slim | B |
And trembling slightly dreaming of his might | C |
Nor knew he touched her hand as strangely light | C |
As a wan wraith's beside a river's rim | B |
The other maidens raised their eyes to see | D |
And only she has hid her face away | E |
And yet I ween she loved him more than they | E |
And very fairly fashioned was her face | F |
Yet for Love's shame and sweet humility | D |
She dared not meet him with their queenlike grace | F |
