Under The Plane Tree Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAABBBCC DDDEEEFF GGGHHHII

Under my wallA
And plane tree tallA
The lake's blue wavelets rise and fallA
In they creepB
Out they sweepB
And ever their rhythmic measure keepB
As the light breeze over the water stealsC
And fills the sails of a score of keelsC
-
Soft and lowD
In the evening glowD
Murmurs the fountain's ceaseless flowD
Clear and sweetE
Fair and fleetE
It came from the mountain the lake to meetE
And here where ivy and roses twineF
Streamlet and lake their lives combineF
-
One by oneG
In shade or sunG
Each river of life its course must runG
Slow or fastH
Small or vastH
All come to the waiting sea at lastH
The source from which they first aroseI
The home in which they find reposeI
