By The Still Water's Edge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGHGIJIJ KLKLMNMN| I gazed down from the water's side | A |
| To see a silver gleam | B |
| And standing staring looked and tried | A |
| To see beyond the stream | B |
| The clearest water sparkling pure | C |
| Below me stilled and calm | D |
| Its cooling soothing fooling lure | C |
| Seductive in its charm | E |
| - | |
| I saw a young man peering on | F |
| With eyes that conquered all | G |
| But in a moment he was gone | H |
| Uncanny I recall | G |
| Beneath the surface he was there | I |
| A soul of twenty four | J |
| Then vanished in the swell somewhere | I |
| And left me by the shore | J |
| - | |
| Again he came when it was staid | K |
| And braved another glance | L |
| Had I his acquaintance made | K |
| Long by go by chance | L |
| He spoke and told me in a rhyme | M |
| He yearned that he was me | N |
| Though musing swept me back in time | M |
| I longed that I was he | N |
