On Stinsford Hill At Midnight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EEFE GEHE IJKJ LEME ENON PDMD| I glimpsed a woman's muslined form | A |
| Sing songing airily | B |
| Against the moon and still she sang | C |
| And took no heed of me | D |
| - | |
| Another trice and I beheld | E |
| What first I had not scanned | E |
| That now and then she tapped and shook | F |
| A timbrel in her hand | E |
| - | |
| So late the hour so white her drape | G |
| So strange the look it lent | E |
| To that blank hill I could not guess | H |
| What phantastry it meant | E |
| - | |
| Then burst I forth Why such from you | I |
| Are you so happy now | J |
| Her voice swam on nor did she show | K |
| Thought of me anyhow | J |
| - | |
| I called again Come nearer much | L |
| That kind of note I need | E |
| The song kept softening loudening on | M |
| In placid calm unheed | E |
| - | |
| What home is yours now then I said | E |
| You seem to have no care | N |
| But the wild wavering tune went forth | O |
| As if I had not been there | N |
| - | |
| This world is dark and where you are | P |
| I said I cannot be | D |
| But still the happy one sang on | M |
| And had no heed of me | D |
