The Water Nymphs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE| They hide in the brook when I seek to draw nearer | A |
| Laughing amain when I feign to depart | B |
| Often I hear them now faint and now clearer | A |
| Innocent bold or so sweetly discreet | C |
| Are they Nymphs of the Stream at their playing | D |
| Or but the brook I mistook for a voice | E |
| Little care I for despite harsh Time's flaying | D |
| Brook voice or Nymph voice still makes me rejoice | E |
