The Torrent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEFDF| I found a torrent falling in a glen | A |
| Where the sun's light shone silvered and leaf split | B |
| The boom the foam and the mad flash of it | B |
| All made a magic symphony but when | A |
| I thought upon the coming of hard men | A |
| To cut those patriarchal trees away | C |
| And turn to gold the silver of that spray | C |
| I shuddered Yet a gladness now and then | A |
| Did wake me to myself till I was glad | D |
| In earnest and was welcoming the time | E |
| For screaming saws to sound above the chime | E |
| Of idle waters and for me to know | F |
| The jealous visionings that I had had | D |
| Were steps to the great place where trees and torrents go | F |
