The Maid Of Toro Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDDE FGFGHIHI DADAJAJ| O low shone the sun on the fair lake of Toro | A |
| And weak were the whispers that waved the dark wood | B |
| All as a fair maiden bewilder'd in sorrow | A |
| Sorely sigh'd to the breezes and wept to the flood | C |
| 'O saints from the mansions of bliss lowly bending | D |
| Now grant my petition in anguish ascending | D |
| My Henry restore or let Eleanor die ' | E |
| - | |
| All distant and faint were the sounds of the battle | F |
| With the breezes they rise with the breezes they fail | G |
| Till the shout and the groan and the conflict's dread rattle | F |
| And the chase's wild clamour came loading the gale | G |
| Breathless she gazed on the woodlands so dreary | H |
| Slowly approaching a warrior was seen | I |
| Life's ebbing tide mark'd his footsteps so weary | H |
| Cleft was his helmet and woe was his mien | I |
| - | |
| 'O save thee fair maid for our armies are flying | D |
| O save thee fair maid for thy guardian is low | A |
| Deadly cold on yon heath thy brave Henry is lying | D |
| Scarce could he falter the tidings of sorrow | A |
| And scarce could she hear them benumb'd with despair | J |
| And when the sun sunk on the sweet lake of Toro | A |
| For ever he set to the Brave and the Fair | J |
