Hero And Leander Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDBEEB FFBGGB| The night wind is moaning with mournful sigh | A |
| There gleameth no moon in the misty sky | A |
| No star over Helle's sea | B |
| Yet yet there is shining one holy light | C |
| One love kindled star thro' the deep of night | C |
| To lead me sweet Hero to thee | B |
| - | |
| Thus saying he plunged in the foamy stream | D |
| Still fixing his gaze on that distant beam | D |
| No eye but a lover's could see | B |
| And still as the surge swept over his head | E |
| To night he said tenderly living or dead | E |
| Sweet Hero I'll rest with thee | B |
| - | |
| But fiercer around him the wild waves speed | F |
| Oh Love in that hour of thy votary's need | F |
| Where where could thy Spirit be | B |
| He struggles he sinks while the hurricane's breath | G |
| Bears rudely away his last farewell in death | G |
| Sweet Hero I die for thee | B |
