Heart's Fountain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAAAA ACACDD| Her moods are like the fountain's changing ever | A |
| That spouts aloft a sudden watery dome | B |
| Only to fall again in shattering foam | B |
| Just where the wedded jets themselves dissever | A |
| And palpitating downward downward quiver | A |
| Unfolded like a swift ethereal flower | A |
| That sheds white petals in a blinding shower | A |
| And straightway soars anew with blithe endeavor | A |
| - | |
| The sun may kindle it with healthful fire | A |
| Upon it falls the cloud gray's leaden load | C |
| At night the stars shall haunt the whirling spire | A |
| Yet these have but a transient garb bestowed | C |
| So her glad life whate'er the hours impart | D |
| Plays still 'twixt heaven's cope and her own clear heart | D |
