On A Heath Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCB DEFEFE AGAGAG| I could hear a gown skirt rustling | A |
| Before I could see her shape | B |
| Rustling through the heather | C |
| That wove the common's drape | B |
| On that evening of dark weather | C |
| When I hearkened lips agape | B |
| - | |
| And the town shine in the distance | D |
| Did but baffle here the sight | E |
| And then a voice flew forward | F |
| Dear is't you I fear the night | E |
| And the herons flapped to norward | F |
| In the firs upon my right | E |
| - | |
| There was another looming | A |
| Whose life we did not see | G |
| There was one stilly blooming | A |
| Full nigh to where walked we | G |
| There was a shade entombing | A |
| All that was bright of me | G |
