Song: The Cup Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBACA DEDFBGAGA| As a hot traveller | A |
| Going through stones and sands | B |
| Who sees clear water stir | A |
| Amid the weary lands | B |
| Takes in his hollowed hands | B |
| The clean and lively water | A |
| That trickles down his throat | C |
| Like laughter like laughter | A |
| - | |
| So when you come to me | D |
| Across these parch d places | E |
| And all the waste I see | D |
| Flowered with your graces | F |
| I take between my hands | B |
| Your face like a rare cup | G |
| Where kisses mix with laughter | A |
| And drink and drink them up | G |
| Like water like water | A |
