The Image Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC DEFDGF HCIHCI| I am a river flowing round your hill | A |
| Holding your image in my lingering water | B |
| With imaged white clouds rising round your head | C |
| And I am happy to bear your image still | A |
| Though a loud ruffling wind may break and scatter | B |
| That happiness I know it is not fled | C |
| - | |
| But when the wind is gone or gentled so | D |
| That only the least quivering quivers on | E |
| Your image recomposes in my breast | F |
| With those high clouds quiet and white as snow | D |
| Spiritual company and when day's gone | G |
| And those white clouds have stepped into the west | F |
| - | |
| And the dark blue filling the heavens deep | H |
| Is bright with stars that sing above your head | C |
| Their light lies in the deep of my dark eyes | I |
| With your dark shape a shadow of your sleep | H |
| I am happy still watching the bright stars tread | C |
| Around your shadow that in my bosom lies | I |
