The Water Ouzel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEAFGHIJ| Little brown surf bather of the mountains | A |
| Spirit of foam lover of cataracts shaking your wings in falling waters | B |
| Have you no fear of the roar and rush when Nevada plunges | C |
| Nevada the shapely dancer feeling her way with slim white fingers | B |
| How dare you dash at Yosemite the mighty | D |
| Tall white limbed Yosemite leaping down down over the cliff | E |
| Is it not enough to lean on the blue air of mountains | A |
| Is it not enough to rest with your mate at timberline in bushes that hug | F |
| the rocks | G |
| Must you fly through mad waters where the heaped up granite breaks them | H |
| Must you batter your wings in the torrent | I |
| Must you plunge for life and death through the foam | J |
