O Nightingale! Thou Surely Art Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHHGGIIJJ| O Nightingale thou surely art | A |
| A creature of a fiery heart | A |
| These notes of thine they pierce and pierce | B |
| Tumultuous harmony and fierce | B |
| Thou sing'st as if the God of wine | C |
| Had helped thee to a Valentine | C |
| A song in mockery and despite | D |
| Of shades and dews and silent night | D |
| And steady bliss and all the loves | E |
| Now sleeping in these peaceful groves | F |
| I heard a Stock dove sing or say | G |
| His homely tale this very day | G |
| His voice was buried among trees | H |
| Yet to be come at by the breeze | H |
| He did not cease but cooed and cooed | G |
| And somewhat pensively he wooed | G |
| He sang of love with quiet blending | I |
| Slow to begin and never ending | I |
| Of serious faith and inward glee | J |
| That was the song the song for me | J |
