At The Mill Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDCD AADDECEC FFGGHIHI| The water wheel goes 'round and 'round | A |
| With heavy sighs of mournful sound | A |
| While dismal cries and weary moans | B |
| Unite with sad and tearful groans | B |
| And weeping waves of water throw | C |
| Afar the echoes of their sadness | D |
| And cadences of plaintive woe | C |
| Dispel each little note of gladness | D |
| - | |
| My daily life goes 'round and 'round | A |
| And rest for me is never found | A |
| The sobbing dirges of distress | D |
| Are more than songs of happiness | D |
| The shadows of despairing doom | E |
| Condemn to day and curse to morrow | C |
| And muffled terrors fill the gloom | E |
| Which offers anguish to my sorrow | C |
| - | |
| But hope O heart for future weal | F |
| The waters rest beyond the wheel | F |
| So life may sing when toil is done | G |
| And all its battles lost or won | G |
| There lives a sweeter music there | H |
| Of gentle and melodious measure | I |
| Where weeping never comes and where | H |
| The ages perish into pleasure | I |
