Song Of The Stream-drops Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDD EDEDFF GDHDDD IJIDBB| By silent forest and field and mossy stone | A |
| We come from the wooden hill and we go to the sea | B |
| We labour and sing sweet songs but we never moan | A |
| For our mother the sea is calling us cheerily | C |
| We have heard her calling us many and many a day | D |
| From the cool grey stones and the white sands far away | D |
| - | |
| The way is long and winding and slow is the track | E |
| The sharp rocks fret us the eddies bring us delay | D |
| But we sing sweet songs to our mother and answer her back | E |
| Gladly we answer our mother sweetly repay | D |
| Oh we hear we hear her singing wherever we roam | F |
| Far far away in the silence calling us home | F |
| - | |
| Poor mortal your ears are dull and you cannot hear | G |
| But we we hear it the breast of our mother abeat | D |
| Low far away sweet and solemn and clear | H |
| Under the hush of the night under the noon tide heat | D |
| And we sing sweet songs to our mother for so we shall please her best | D |
| Songs of beauty and peace freedom and infinite rest | D |
| - | |
| We sing and sing through the grass and the stones and the reeds | I |
| And we never grow tired though we journey ever and aye | J |
| Dreaming and dreaming wherever the long way leads | I |
| Of the far cool rocks and the rush of the wind and the spray | D |
| Under the sun and the stars we murmur and dance and are free | B |
| And we dream and dream of our mother the width of the sheltering sea | B |
