By The Rosanna--to F.m. Stanzer Thal, Tyrol Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEEFGFGHHIIJJKK| The old grey Alp has caught the cloud | A |
| And the torrent river sings aloud | A |
| The glacier green Rosanna sings | B |
| An organ song of its upper springs | B |
| Foaming under the tiers of pine | C |
| I see it dash down the dark ravine | D |
| And it tumbles the rocks in boisterous play | E |
| With an earnest will to find its way | E |
| Sharp it throws out an emerald shoulder | F |
| And thundering ever of the mountain | G |
| Slaps in sport some giant boulder | F |
| And tops it in a silver fountain | G |
| A chain of foam from end to end | H |
| And a solitude so deep my friend | H |
| You may forget that man abides | I |
| Beyond the great mute mountain sides | I |
| Yet to me in this high walled solitude | J |
| Of river and rock and forest rude | J |
| The roaring voice through the long white chain | K |
| Is the voice of the world of bubble and brain | K |
