For Thee Alone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABC DEDEC FGHGC HIHIC| For thee alone I brave the boundless deep | A |
| Those eyes my light through every distant sea | B |
| My waking thoughts the dream that gilds my sleep | A |
| The noon tide revery all are given to thee | B |
| To thee alone to thee alone | C |
| - | |
| Tho' future scenes present to Fancy's eye | D |
| Fair forms of light that crowd the distant air | E |
| When nearer viewed the fairy phantoms fly | D |
| The crowds dissolve and thou alone art there | E |
| Thou thou alone | C |
| - | |
| To win thy smile I speed from shore to shore | F |
| While Hope's sweet voice is heard in every blast | G |
| Still whispering on that when some years are o'er | H |
| One bright reward shall crown my toil at last | G |
| Thy smile alone thy smile alone | C |
| - | |
| Oh place beside the transport of that hour | H |
| All earth can boast of fair of rich and bright | I |
| Wealth's radiant mines the lofty thrones of power | H |
| Then ask where first thy lover's choice would light | I |
| On thee alone on thee alone | C |
