Xix: The Mill Stream Now That Noises Cease Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD BBEE| The mill stream now that noises cease | A |
| Is all that does not hold its peace | A |
| Under the bridge it murmurs by | B |
| And here are night and hell and I | B |
| - | |
| Who made the world I cannot tell | C |
| 'Tis made and here I am in hell | C |
| My hand though now my knuckles bleed | D |
| I never soiled with such a deed | D |
| - | |
| And so no doubt in time gone by | B |
| Some have suffered more than I | B |
| Who only spend the night alone | E |
| And strike my fist upon the stone | E |
