Fly Not Yet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDDEEFGGC DDHHIJJEEFKKL| Fly not yet 'tis just the hour | A |
| When pleasure like the midnight flower | A |
| That scorns the eye of vulgar light | B |
| Begins to bloom for sons of night | B |
| And maids who love the moon | C |
| 'Twas but to bless these hours of shade | D |
| That beauty and the moon were made | D |
| 'Tis then their soft attractions glowing | E |
| Set the tides and goblets flowing | E |
| Oh stay Oh stay | F |
| Joy so seldom weaves a chain | G |
| Like this to night that oh 'tis pain | G |
| To break its links so soon | C |
| - | |
| Fly not yet the fount that play'd | D |
| In times of old through Ammon's shade | D |
| Though icy cold by day it ran | H |
| Yet still like souls of mirth began | H |
| To burn when night was near | I |
| And thus should woman's heart and looks | J |
| At noon be cold as winter brooks | J |
| Nor kindle till the night returning | E |
| Brings their genial hour for burning | E |
| Oh stay Oh stay | F |
| When did morning ever break | K |
| And find such beaming eyes awake | K |
| As those that sparkle here | L |
