The Well Of Loch Maree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DBEB AFGF HIAI JKLK MN N| Calm on the breast of Loch Maree | A |
| A little isle reposes | B |
| A shadow woven of the oak | C |
| And willow o'er it closes | B |
| - | |
| Within a Druid's mound is seen | D |
| Set round with stony warders | B |
| A fountain gushing through the turf | E |
| Flows o'er its grassy borders | B |
| - | |
| And whoso bathes therein his brow | A |
| With care or madness burning | F |
| Feels once again his healthful thought | G |
| And sense of peace returning | F |
| - | |
| O restless heart and fevered brain | H |
| Unquiet and unstable | I |
| That holy well of Loch Maree | A |
| Is more than idle fable | I |
| - | |
| Life's changes vex its discords stun | J |
| Its glaring sunshine blindeth | K |
| And blest is he who on his way | L |
| That fount of healing findeth | K |
| - | |
| The shadows of a humbled will | M |
| And contrite heart are o'er it | N |
| Go read its legend 'TRUST IN GOD ' | - |
| On Faith's white stones before it | N |
