Adelgitha Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGF HIHI| The ordeal's fatal trumpet sounded | A |
| And sad pale Adelgitha came | B |
| When forth a valiant champion bounded | A |
| And slew the slanderer of her fame | B |
| She wept delivered from her danger | C |
| But when he knelt to claim her glove | D |
| Seek not she cried oh gallant stranger | C |
| For hapless Adelgitha's love | D |
| - | |
| For he is dead and in a foreign land | E |
| Whose arm should now have set me free | F |
| And I must wear the willow garland | G |
| For him that's dead or false to me | F |
| - | |
| Nay say not that his faith is tainted | H |
| He raised his visor At the sight | I |
| She fell into his arms and fainted | H |
| It was indeed her one true knight | I |
