Arabia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE AGHGIJKJ LMNMMOA

Far are the shades of ArabiaA
Where the Princes ride at noonB
'Mid the verdurous vales and thicketsC
Under the ghost of the moonB
And so dark is that vaulted purpleD
Flowers in the forest riseE
And toss into blossom 'gainst the phantom starsF
Pale in the noonday skiesE
-
Sweet is the music of ArabiaA
In my heart when out of dreamsG
I still in the thin clear mirk of dawnH
Descry her gliding streamsG
Hear her strange lutes on the green banksI
Ring loud with the grief and delightJ
Of the dim silked dark haired MusiciansK
In the brooding silence of nightJ
-
They haunt me her lutes and her forestsL
No beauty on earth I seeM
But shadowed with that dream recallsN
Her loveliness to meM
Still eyes look coldly upon meM
Cold voices whisper and sayO
'He is crazed with the spell of far ArabiaA
They have stolen his wits away '-
