How Still, How Happy! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGHG IJIK LMNM OGOP QRQR STST| How still how happy Those are words | A |
| That once would scarce agree together | B |
| I loved the plashing of the surge | C |
| The changing heaven the breezy weather | B |
| - | |
| More than smooth seas and cloudless skies | D |
| And solemn soothing softened airs | E |
| That in the forest woke no sighs | D |
| And from the green spray shook no tears | E |
| - | |
| How still how happy now I feel | F |
| Where silence dwells is sweeter far | G |
| Than laughing mirth's most joyous swell | H |
| However pure its raptures are | G |
| - | |
| Come sit down on this sunny stone | I |
| 'Tis wintry light o'er flowerless moors | J |
| But sit for we are all alone | I |
| And clear expand heaven's breathless shores | K |
| - | |
| I could think in the withered grass | L |
| Spring's budding wreaths we might discern | M |
| The violet's eye might shyly flash | N |
| And young leaves shoot among the fern | M |
| - | |
| It is but thought full many a night | O |
| The snow shall clothe those hills afar | G |
| And storms shall add a drearier blight | O |
| And winds shall wage a wilder war | P |
| - | |
| Before the lark may herald in | Q |
| Fresh foliage twined with blossoms fair | R |
| And summer days again begin | Q |
| Their glory haloed crown to wear | R |
| - | |
| Yet my heart loves December's smile | S |
| As much as July's golden beam | T |
| Then let us sit and watch the while | S |
| The blue ice curdling on the stream | T |
