A Hamadryad Dies. Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCDCECECC| Low mourned the Oread round the Arcadian hills | A |
| The Naiad murmured and the Dryad moaned | B |
| The meadow maiden left her daffodils | A |
| To join the Hamadryades who groaned | B |
| Over a sister newly fallen dead | C |
| That Life might perish out of Arcady | C |
| From immemorial times was never said | C |
| Yet here one lay dead by her dead oak tree | D |
| Who made our Hamadryad cold and mute | C |
| The others cried in sorrow and in wonder | E |
| I answered Death close by in ashen suit | C |
| Yet fear not me for this nor start asunder | E |
| Arcadian life shall keep its ancient zest | C |
| Though I be here My name is it not Rest | C |
