Gayly Sounds The Castanet. (maltese Air.) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCDC AAAAEFEF GEGEHIHI| Gayly sounds the castanet | A |
| Beating time to bounding feet | A |
| When after daylight's golden set | A |
| Maids and youths by moonlight meet | A |
| Oh then how sweet to move | B |
| Thro' all that maze of mirth | C |
| Led by light from eyes we love | D |
| Beyond all eyes on earth | C |
| - | |
| Then the joyous banquet spread | A |
| On the cool and fragrant ground | A |
| With heaven's bright sparklers overhead | A |
| And still brighter sparkling round | A |
| Oh then how sweet to say | E |
| Into some loved one's ear | F |
| Thoughts reserved thro' many a day | E |
| To be thus whispered here | F |
| - | |
| When the dance and feast are done | G |
| Arm in arm as home we stray | E |
| How sweet to see the dawning sun | G |
| O'er her cheek's warm blushes play | E |
| Then too the farewell kiss | H |
| The words whose parting tone | I |
| Lingers still in dreams of bliss | H |
| That haunt young hearts alone | I |
