The Broken Ring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDEFFE GAHAIBJB KLMMLINEEN| To 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 |
