How Sweet It Were Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBCDCDEEEEFF| How sweet it were hearing the downward stream | A |
| With half shut eyes ever to seem | A |
| Falling asleep in a half dream | A |
| To dream and dream like yonder amber light | B |
| Which will not leave the myrrh bush on the height | B |
| To hear each other's whisper'd speech | C |
| Eating the Lotos day by day | D |
| To watch the crisping ripples on the beach | C |
| And tender curving lines of creamy spray | D |
| To lend our hearts and spirits wholly | E |
| To the influence of mild minded melancholy | E |
| To muse and brood and live again in memory | E |
| With those old faces of our infancy | E |
| Heap'd over with a mound of grass | F |
| Two handfuls of white dust shut in an urn of brass | F |
Alfred Lord Tennyson
