I've Heard The Rushing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCB DBDDB EBFFB DBFFB| I ve heard the rushing of mountain torrents gushing | A |
| Down through the rocks in a cataract of spray | B |
| Onward to the ocean | C |
| Swift seemed their motion | C |
| Till lost in the desert they dwindled away | B |
| - | |
| I ve learnt the story of all human glory | D |
| I ve felt high resolves growing weaker every day | B |
| Till cares springing round me | D |
| With creeping tendrils bound me | D |
| And all I once hoped for was wearing fast away | B |
| - | |
| I ve seen the river rolling on for ever | E |
| Silent and strong without tumult or display | B |
| In the desert arid | F |
| Its waters never tarried | F |
| Till far out at sea we still found them on their way | B |
| - | |
| Now no more weary we faint in deserts dreary | D |
| Toiling alone till the closing of the day | B |
| All now is righted | F |
| Our souls flow on united | F |
| Till the years and their sorrows have all died away | B |
