The Old Gown (song) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGEHEH IEIEJKJK| I have seen her in gowns the brightest | A |
| Of azure green and red | B |
| And in the simplest whitest | C |
| Muslined from heel to head | B |
| I have watched her walking riding | D |
| Shade flecked by a leafy tree | E |
| Or in fixed thought abiding | D |
| By the foam fingered sea | E |
| - | |
| In woodlands I have known her | F |
| When boughs were mourning loud | G |
| In the rain reek she has shown her | F |
| Wild haired and watery browed | G |
| And once or twice she has cast me | E |
| As she pomped along the street | H |
| Court clad ere quite she had passed me | E |
| A glance from her chariot seat | H |
| - | |
| But in my memoried passion | I |
| For evermore stands she | E |
| In the gown of fading fashion | I |
| She wore that night when we | E |
| Doomed long to part assembled | J |
| In the snug small room yea when | K |
| She sang with lips that trembled | J |
| Shall I see his face again | K |
