Song (untitled #9) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBD EFFED GHGHD IJJID| I would I were the drop of rain | A |
| That falls into the dancing rill | B |
| For I should seek the river then | C |
| And roll below the wooded hill | B |
| Until I reached the sea | D |
| - | |
| And O to be the river swift | E |
| That wrestles with the wilful tide | F |
| And fling the briny weeds aside | F |
| That o'er the foamy billows drift | E |
| Until I came to thee | D |
| - | |
| I would that after weary strife | G |
| And storm beneath the piping wind | H |
| The current of my true fresh life | G |
| Might come unmingled unimbrined | H |
| To where thou floatest free | D |
| - | |
| Might find thee in some amber clime | I |
| Where sunlight dazzles on the sail | J |
| And dreaming of our plighted vale | J |
| Might seal the dream and bless the time | I |
| With maiden kisses three | D |
