Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDAA EEFFGHII JJKLCCAAI dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair | A |
Borne like a vapor on the summer air | A |
I see her tripping where the bright streams play | B |
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way | B |
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour | C |
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'er | D |
Oh I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair | A |
Floating like a vapor on the soft summer air | A |
- | |
I long for Jeanie with the daydawn smile | E |
Radiant in gladness warm with winning guile | E |
I hear her melodies like joys gone by | F |
Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that die | F |
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain | G |
Wailing for the lost one that comes not again | H |
Oh I long for Jeanie and my heart bows low | I |
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow | I |
- | |
I sigh for Jeanie but her light form strayed | J |
Far from the fond hearts round her native glade | J |
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown | K |
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone | L |
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore | C |
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more | C |
Oh I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair | A |
Floating like a vapor on the soft summer air | A |
