The Mountain Sprite Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDBB EEBB FFBB GGBB HHBB IIBB| In yonder valley there dwelt alone | A |
| A youth whose moments had calmly flown | A |
| 'Till spells came o'er him and day and night | B |
| He was haunted and watch'd by a Mountain Sprite | B |
| - | |
| As once by moonlight he wander'd o'er | C |
| The golden sands of that Island shore | D |
| A foot print sparkled before his sight | B |
| 'Twas the fairy foot of the Mountain Sprite | B |
| - | |
| Beside a fountain one sunny day | E |
| As bending over the stream he lay | E |
| There peep'd down o'er him two eyes of light | B |
| And he saw in that mirror the Mountain Sprite | B |
| - | |
| He turn'd but lo like a startled bird | F |
| That spirit fled and the youth but heard | F |
| Sweet music such as marks the flight | B |
| Of some bird of song from the Mountain Sprite | B |
| - | |
| One night still haunted by that bright look | G |
| The boy bewilder'd his pencil took | G |
| And guided only by memory's light | B |
| Drew the once seen form of the Mountain Sprite | B |
| - | |
| Oh thou who lovest the shadow cried | H |
| A voice low whispering by his side | H |
| Now turn and see here the youth's delight | B |
| Seal'd the rosy lips of the Mountain Sprite | B |
| - | |
| Of all the Spirits of land and sea | I |
| Then rapt he murmur'd there's none like thee | I |
| And oft oh oft may thy foot thus light | B |
| In this lonely bower sweet Mountain Sprite | B |
