The Sleeping Beauty Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FAFA GHGI

The scent of bramble sweets the airA
Amid her folded sheets she liesB
The gold of evening in her hairA
The blue of morn shut in her eyesB
-
How many a changing moon hath litC
The unchanging roses of her faceD
Her mirror ever broods on itC
In silver stillness of the daysE
-
Oft flits the moth on filmy wingsF
Into his solitary lairA
Shrill evensong the cricket singsF
From some still shadow in her hairA
-
In heat in snow in wind in floodG
She sleeps in lovely lonelinessH
Half folded like an April budG
On winter haunted treesI
