The Heart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| There is a cup of sweet or bitter drink | A |
| Whose waters ever o'er the brim must well | B |
| Whence flow pure thoughts of love as angels think | A |
| Or of its d mon depths the tongue will tell | B |
| That cup can ne'er be cleansed from outward stains | C |
| While from within the tide forever flows | D |
| And soon it wearies out the fruitless pains | C |
| The treacherous hand on such a task bestows | D |
| But ever bright its chrystal sides appear | E |
| While runs the current from its outlet pure | F |
| And pilgrims hail its sparkling waters near | E |
| And stoop to drink the healing fountain sure | F |
| And bless the cup that cheers their fainting soul | G |
| While through this parching waste they seek their heavenly goal | G |
