On A Midsummer Eve Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| I idly cut a parsley stalk | A |
| And blew therein towards the moon | B |
| I had not thought what ghosts would walk | A |
| With shivering footsteps to my tune | B |
| - | |
| I went and knelt and scooped my hand | C |
| As if to drink into the brook | D |
| And a faint figure seemed to stand | C |
| Above me with the bygone look | D |
| - | |
| I lipped rough rhymes of chance not choice | E |
| I thought not what my words might be | F |
| There came into my ear a voice | E |
| That turned a tenderer verse for me | F |
