Aedh Pleads With The Elemental Powers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGHHII

The powers whose name and shape no living creature knowsA
Have pulled the Immortal RoseA
And though the Seven Lights bowed in their dance and weptB
The Polar Dragon sleptB
His heavy rings uncoiled from glimmering deep to deepC
When will he wake from sleepC
-
Great Powers of falling wave and wind and windy fireD
With your harmonious choirD
Encircle her I love and sing her into peaceE
That my old care may ceaseE
Unfold your flaming wings and cover out of sightF
The nets of day and nightF
-
Dim Powers of drowsy thought let her no longer beG
Like the pale cup of the seaG
When winds have gathered and sun and moon burned dimH
Above its cloudy rimH
But let a gentle silence wrought with music flowI
Whither her footsteps goI
