The Russian Lover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIJ CDCD| Fleetly o'er the moonlight snows | A |
| Speed we to my lady's bower | B |
| Swift our sledge as lightning goes | A |
| Nor shall stop till morning's hour | B |
| Bright my steed the northern star | C |
| Lights us from yon jewelled skies | D |
| But to greet us brighter far | C |
| Morn shall bring my lady's eyes | D |
| Lovers lulled in sunny bowers | E |
| Sleeping out their dream of time | F |
| Know not half the bliss that's ours | E |
| In this snowy icy clime | F |
| Like yon star that livelier gleams | G |
| From the frosty heavens around | H |
| Love himself the keener beams | G |
| When with snows of coyness crowned | H |
| Fleet then on my merry steed | I |
| Bound my sledge o'er hill and dale | J |
| What can match a lover's speed | I |
| See 'tis daylight breaking pale | J |
| Brightly hath the northern star | C |
| Lit us from yon radiant Skies | D |
| But behold how brighter far | C |
| Yonder shine my lady's eyes | D |
