Stream And Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ| A river flowed through a desert land | A |
| On its way to find the sea | B |
| And saw naught else than glaring sand | A |
| And scarcely a shady tree | B |
| - | |
| The distant stars looked down by night | C |
| And the burning sun by day | D |
| On the crystal stream so pure and bright | C |
| But the sea was far away | D |
| - | |
| Sometimes at night the little stream | E |
| Would sigh for the sea's embrace | F |
| And oft would see as in a dream | E |
| The longed for ocean's face | F |
| - | |
| At last one day it felt a thrill | G |
| It had never known before | H |
| As it reached the brow of a lofty hill | G |
| And saw the wave lapped shore | H |
| - | |
| And it flung itself with a mighty leap | I |
| From the crest of the hill above | J |
| Till its waters mingled with the deep | I |
| And the name of the sea was Love | J |
