At The River-crossing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD ABAB EDED EFEF GHGH IJIJ KLLL| Oh the quiet river crossing | A |
| Where we twain were wont to ride | B |
| Where the wanton winds were to sing | A |
| Willow branches o'er the tide | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| There the golden noon would find us | C |
| Dallying through the summer day | D |
| All the waery world behind us | C |
| All it's tumult far away | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| Oh thoe rides across the crossing | A |
| Where the shallow stream runs wide | B |
| When the sunset's beams were glossing | A |
| Strips of sand on either side | B |
| - | |
| - | |
| We would cross the sparkling river | E |
| On the brown horse and the bay | D |
| Watch the willows sway and shiver | E |
| And their trembling shadows play | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| When the opal tints waxed duller | E |
| And a gray crept o'er the skies | F |
| Yet there stayed the blue sky's color | E |
| In your dreamy dark blue eyes | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| How the sun god's bright caresses | G |
| When we rode at sunet there | H |
| Plaited among your braided tresses | G |
| Gleaming on your silky hair | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| When the last sunlight's glory | I |
| Faded off the sandy bars | J |
| There we learnt the old old story | I |
| Riding homeward 'neat the stars | J |
| - | |
| - | |
| 'Tis a memory to be hoarded | K |
| Oh the follish tale and fond | L |
| Till another stream be forded | L |
| And we reach the Great Beyond | L |
