The Brook. (from The Spanish) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFGEFE| Laugh of the mountain lyre of bird and tree | A |
| Pomp of the meadow mirror of the morn | B |
| The soul of April unto whom are born | B |
| The rose and jessamine leaps wild in thee | A |
| Although where'er thy devious current strays | C |
| The lap of earth with gold and silver teems | D |
| To me thy clear proceeding brighter seems | D |
| Than golden sands that charm each shepherd's gaze | C |
| How without guile thy bosom all transparent | E |
| As the pure crystal lets the curious eye | F |
| Thy secrets scan thy smooth round pebbles count | G |
| How without malice murmuring glides thy current | E |
| O sweet simplicity of days gone by | F |
| Thou shun'st the haunts of man to dwell in limpid fount | E |
