Lucy I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IDID JKJK LMLStrange fits of passion have I known | A |
And I will dare to tell | B |
But in the lover's ear alone | A |
What once to me befell | B |
- | |
When she I loved look'd every day | C |
Fresh as a rose in June | D |
I to her cottage bent my way | C |
Beneath an evening moon | D |
- | |
Upon the moon I fix'd my eye | E |
All over the wide lea | F |
With quickening pace my horse drew nigh | E |
Those paths so dear to me | F |
- | |
And now we reach'd the orchard plot | G |
And as we climb'd the hill | H |
The sinking moon to Lucy's cot | G |
Came near and nearer still | H |
- | |
In one of those sweet dreams I slept | I |
Kind Nature's gentlest boon | D |
And all the while my eyes I kept | I |
On the descending moon | D |
- | |
My horse moved on hoof after hoof | J |
He raised and never stopp'd | K |
When down behind the cottage roof | J |
At once the bright moon dropp'd | K |
- | |
What fond and wayward thoughts will slide | L |
Into a lover's head | M |
'O mercy ' to myself I cried | L |
'If Lucy should be dead ' | - |
