Sad-eyed And Soft And Grey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCCD| Sad Eyed and soft and grey thou art o morn | A |
| Across the long grass of the marshy plain | B |
| Thy west wind whispers of the coming rain | B |
| Thy lark forgets that May is grown forlorn | A |
| Above the lush blades of the springing corn | A |
| Thy thrush within the high elms strives in vain | B |
| To store up tales of spring for summer's pain | B |
| Vain day why wert thou from the dark night born | A |
| - | |
| O many voiced strange morn why must thou break | C |
| With vain desire the softness of my dream | D |
| Where she and I alone on earth did seem | D |
| How hadst thou heart from me that land to take | C |
| Wherein she wandered softly for my sake | C |
| And I and she no harm of love might deem | D |
