The Fairies Dancing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGIGJGJ CKCK| I heard along the early hills | A |
| Ere yet the lark was risen up | B |
| Ere yet the dawn with firelight fills | A |
| The night dew of the bramble cup | B |
| I heard the fairies in a ring | C |
| Sing as they tripped a lilting round | D |
| Soft as the moon on wavering wing | C |
| The starlight shook as if with sound | D |
| As if with echoing and the stars | E |
| Prankt their bright eyes with trembling gleams | F |
| While red with war the gusty Mars | E |
| Rained upon earth his ruddy beams | F |
| He shone alone low down the West | G |
| While I behind a hawthorn bush | H |
| Watched on the fairies flaxen tressed | G |
| The fires of the morning flush | I |
| Till as a mist their beauty died | G |
| Their singing shrill and fainter grew | J |
| And daylight tremulous and wide | G |
| Flooded the moorland through and through | J |
| Till Urdon's copper weathercock | C |
| Was reared in golden flame afar | K |
| And dim from moonlit dreams awoke | C |
| The towers and groves of Arroar | K |
