To The River Rhone Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Thou Royal River born of sun and shower | A |
| In chambers purple with the Alpine glow | B |
| Wrapped in the spotless ermine of the snow | B |
| And rocked by tempests at the appointed hour | A |
| Forth like a steel clad horseman from a tower | A |
| With clang and clink of harness dost thou go | B |
| To meet thy vassal torrents that below | B |
| Rush to receive thee and obey thy power | A |
| And now thou movest in triumphal march | C |
| A king among the rivers On thy way | D |
| A hundred towns await and welcome thee | E |
| Bridges uplift for thee the stately arch | C |
| Vineyards encircle thee with garlands gay | D |
| And fleets attend thy progress to the sea | E |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
