By A River Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBAABCDCDCD| By red ripe mouth and brown luxurious eyes | A |
| Of her I love by all your sweetness shed | B |
| In far fair days on one whose memory flies | A |
| To faithless lights and gracious speech gainsaid | B |
| I pray you when yon river path I tread | B |
| Make with the woodlands some soft compromise | A |
| Lest they should vex me into fruitless sighs | A |
| With visions of a woman's gleaming head | B |
| For every green and golden hearted thing | C |
| That gathers beauty in that shining place | D |
| Beloved of beams and wooed by wind and wing | C |
| Is rife with glimpses of her marvellous face | D |
| And in the whispers of the lips of Spring | C |
| The music of her lute like voice I trace | D |
