The Double Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDAD EFAFGHAH IJKJLMNO| I curtseyed to the dovecote | A |
| I curtseyed to the well | B |
| I twirled me round and round about | A |
| The morning sweets to smell | B |
| When out I came from spinning so | C |
| Lo betwixt green and blue | D |
| Was the ghost of me a Fairy Child | A |
| A dancing dancing too | D |
| - | |
| Nought was of her wearing | E |
| That is the earth's array | F |
| Her thistledown feet beat airy fleet | A |
| Yet set no blade astray | F |
| The gossamer shining dews of June | G |
| Showed grey against the green | H |
| Yet never so much as a bird claw print | A |
| Of footfall to be seen | H |
| - | |
| Fading in the mounting sun | I |
| That image soon did pine | J |
| Fainter than moonlight thinned the locks | K |
| That shone as clear as mine | J |
| Vanished Vanished O sad it is | L |
| To spin and spin in vain | M |
| And never to see the ghost of me | N |
| A dancing there again | O |
