To The Wissahiccon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDEFGFGBHBHIJKK HHLLMMININMMLL| My feet shall tread no more thy mossy side | A |
| When once they turn away thou Pleasant Water | B |
| Nor ever more reflected in thy tide | A |
| Will shine the eyes of the White Island's daughter | B |
| But often in my dreams when I am gone | C |
| Beyond the sea that parts thy home and mine | D |
| Upon thy banks the evening sun will shine | D |
| And I shall hear thy low still flowing on | E |
| And when the burden of existence lies | F |
| Upon my soul darkly and heavily | G |
| I'll clasp my hands over my weary eyes | F |
| Thou Pleasant Water and thy clear waves see | G |
| Bright be thy course for ever and for ever | B |
| Child of pure mountain springs and mountain snow | H |
| And as thou wanderest on to meet the river | B |
| Oh still in light and music mayst thou flow | H |
| I never shall come back to thee again | I |
| When once my sail is shadowed on the main | J |
| Nor ever shall I hear thy laughing voice | K |
| As on their rippling way thy waves rejoice | K |
| Nor ever see the dark green cedar throw | H |
| Its gloomy shade o'er the clear depths below | H |
| Never from stony rifts of granite gray | L |
| Sparkling like diamond rocks in the sun's ray | L |
| Shall I look down on thee thou pleasant stream | M |
| Beneath whose crystal folds the gold sands gleam | M |
| Wherefore farewell but whensoe'er again | I |
| The wintry spell melts from the earth and air | N |
| And the young Spring comes dancing through thy glen | I |
| With fragrant flowery breath and sunny hair | N |
| When through the snow the scarlet berries gleam | M |
| Like jewels strewn upon thy banks fair stream | M |
| My spirit shall through many a summer's day | L |
| Return among thy peaceful woods to stray | L |
