And Shall The Living Waters Heed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHICJC| And shall the living waters heed | A |
| our vain desire insensate Art | B |
| and fill the common dust I knead | A |
| upgather'd from the trodden mart | B |
| As well might they forsake their clime | C |
| of virgin green and blue to creep | D |
| in cities where our tears are slime | C |
| where our unquicken'd bodies sleep | D |
| But thou O soul hast stood for sure | E |
| in the far paradisal bower | F |
| there where our passion sparkles pure | E |
| beneath the eternal morning hour | F |
| and oft in twilights listening | G |
| my sleeping memories are stirr'd | H |
| by lavings of the unstaunched spring | G |
| upwelling in a sudden word | H |
| Why shouldst thou come to squander here | I |
| the treasure of those deeps on me | C |
| nay where our fount is free and clear | J |
| stay there and let me come to thee | C |
