Born Of Water Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| Methought I stood among the stars alone | A |
| Watching a grey parched orb which onward flew | B |
| Half blinded by the dusty winds that blew | B |
| Empty as Death and barren as a stone | A |
| The pleasant sound of water all unknown | A |
| When as I looked in wonderment there grew | B |
| High in the air above a drop of dew | B |
| Which gathering slowly through long cycles shone | A |
| Like a great tear and then at last it fell | C |
| Clasping the orb which drank it greedily | D |
| With a delicious noise and upward swell | C |
| Of sweet cool joy that tossed me like a sea | D |
| And then the thick life sprang as from a grave | E |
| With trees flowers boats upon the bounding wave | E |
