The Exchange Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BCC B DD EDD E| THE stones in the streamlet I make my bright pillow | A |
| And open my arms to the swift rolling billow | A |
| - | |
| That lovingly hastens to fall on my breast | B |
| Then fickleness soon bids it onwards be flowing | C |
| A second draws nigh its caresses bestowing | C |
| - | |
| And so by a twofold enjoyment I'm blest | B |
| - | |
| And yet thou art trailing in sorrow and sadness | D |
| The moments that life as it flies gave for gladness | D |
| - | |
| Because by thy love thou'rt remember'd no more | E |
| Oh call back to mind former days and their blisses | D |
| The lips of the second will give as sweet kisses | D |
| - | |
| As any the lips of the first gave before | E |
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
