The Blue-eyed Maid Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EFEFGHDD

Sweet are the hours when roseate springA
With health and joy salutes the dayB
When zephyr borne on wanton wingA
Soft whispering wakes the blushing MayB
Sweet are the hours yet not so sweetC
As when my blue eyed Maid I meetC
And hear her soul entrancing taleD
Sequester'd in the shadowy valeD
-
The mellow horn's long echoing notesE
Startle the morn commingling strongF
At eve the harp's wild music floatsE
And ravish'd Silence drinks the songF
Yet sweeter is the song of loveG
When EMMA'S voice enchants the groveH
While listening sylphs repeat the taleD
Sequester'd in the silent valeD
