The Broken Ring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDEFFE GAHAIBJB KLMMLINEENTo the willows of the brookside | A |
The mill wheel sings to day | B |
Sings and weeps | C |
As the brooklet creeps | C |
Wondering on its way | B |
And here is the ring she gave me | D |
With love's sweet promise then | E |
It hath burst apart | F |
Like the trusting heart | F |
That may never be soothed again | E |
- | |
Oh I would be a minstrel | G |
To wander far and wide | A |
Weaving in song the merciless wrong | H |
Done by a perjured bride | A |
Or I would be a soldier | I |
To seek in the bloody fray | B |
What gifts of fate can compensate | J |
For the pangs I suffer to day | B |
- | |
Yet may this aching bosom | K |
By bitter sorrow crushed | L |
Be still and cold | M |
In the churchyard mould | M |
Ere thy sweet voice be hushed | L |
So sing sing on forever | I |
O wheel of the brookside mill | N |
For you mind me again | E |
Of the old time when | E |
I felt love's gracious thrill | N |
