Fetching Her Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCACA DBEDED FBGFGF ABGAGA HBIHIH| An hour before the dawn | A |
| My friend | B |
| You lit your waiting bedside lamp | C |
| Your breakfast fire anon | A |
| And outing into the dark and damp | C |
| You saddled and set on | A |
| - | |
| Thuswise before the day | D |
| My friend | B |
| You sought her on her surfy shore | E |
| To fetch her thence away | D |
| Unto your own new builded door | E |
| For a staunch lifelong stay | D |
| - | |
| You said It seems to be | F |
| My friend | B |
| That I were bringing to my place | G |
| The pure brine breeze the sea | F |
| The mews all her old sky and space | G |
| In bringing her with me | F |
| - | |
| But time is prompt to expugn | A |
| My friend | B |
| Such magic minted conjurings | G |
| The brought breeze fainted soon | A |
| And then the sense of seamews' wings | G |
| And the shore's sibilant tune | A |
| - | |
| So it had been more due | H |
| My friend | B |
| Perhaps had you not pulled this flower | I |
| From the craggy nook it knew | H |
| And set it in an alien bower | I |
| But left it where it grew | H |
