Whither? (from The German Of Mà¼ller) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGEG AHFI FCAC FBAB| I heard a brooklet gushing | A |
| From its rocky fountain near | B |
| Down into the valley rushing | A |
| So fresh and wondrous clear | B |
| - | |
| I know not what came o'er me | C |
| Nor who the counsel gave | D |
| But I must hasten downward | E |
| All with my pilgrim stave | D |
| - | |
| Downward and ever farther | F |
| And ever the brook beside | G |
| And ever fresher murmured | E |
| And ever clearer the tide | G |
| - | |
| Is this the way I was going | A |
| Whither O brooklet say I | H |
| Thou hast with thy soft murmur | F |
| Murmured my senses away | I |
| - | |
| What do I say of a murmur | F |
| That can no murmur be | C |
| 'Tis the water nymphs that are singing | A |
| Their roundelays under me | C |
| - | |
| Let them sing my friend let them murmur | F |
| And wander merrily near | B |
| The wheels of a mill are going | A |
| In every brooklet clear | B |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
