Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDAA EEFFGHII JJKLCCAA

I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hairA
Borne like a vapor on the summer airA
I see her tripping where the bright streams playB
Happy as the daisies that dance on her wayB
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pourC
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o'erD
Oh I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hairA
Floating like a vapor on the soft summer airA
-
I long for Jeanie with the daydawn smileE
Radiant in gladness warm with winning guileE
I hear her melodies like joys gone byF
Sighing round my heart o'er the fond hopes that dieF
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rainG
Wailing for the lost one that comes not againH
Oh I long for Jeanie and my heart bows lowI
Never more to find her where the bright waters flowI
-
I sigh for Jeanie but her light form strayedJ
Far from the fond hearts round her native gladeJ
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flownK
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and goneL
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shoreC
While her gentle fingers will cull them no moreC
Oh I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hairA
Floating like a vapor on the soft summer airA
