In The Harbour: To The Avon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH IJGG| Flow on sweet river like his verse | A |
| Who lies beneath this sculptured hearse | A |
| Nor wait beside the churchyard wall | B |
| For him who cannot hear thy call | B |
| - | |
| Thy playmate once I see him now | C |
| A boy with sunshine on his brow | C |
| And hear in Stratford's quiet street | D |
| The patter of his little feet | D |
| - | |
| I see him by thy shallow edge | E |
| Wading knee deep amid the sedge | E |
| And lost in thought as if thy stream | F |
| Were the swift river of a dream | F |
| - | |
| He wonders whitherward it flows | G |
| And fain would follow where it goes | G |
| To the wide world that shall erelong | H |
| Be filled with his melodious song | H |
| - | |
| Flow on fair stream That dream is o'er | I |
| He stands upon another shore | J |
| A vaster river near him flows | G |
| And still he follows where it goes | G |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
