L'eau Dormante Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCBBDD EBEBFFGGDD| Curled up and sitting on her feet | A |
| Within the window's deep embrasure | B |
| Is Lydia and across the street | A |
| A lad with eyes of roguish azure | B |
| Watches her buried in her book | C |
| In vain he tries to win a look | C |
| And from the trellis over there | B |
| Blows sundry kisses through the air | B |
| Which miss the mark and fall unseen | D |
| Uncared for Lydia is thirteen | D |
| - | |
| My lad if you without abuse | E |
| Will take advise from one who's wiser | B |
| And put his wisdom to more use | E |
| Than ever yet did your adviser | B |
| If you will let as none will do | F |
| Another's heartbreak serve for two | F |
| You'll have a care some four years hence | G |
| How you lounge there by yonder fence | G |
| And blow those kisses through that screen | D |
| For Lydia will be seventeen | D |
