Influence Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CBCCB DEDFE EGEEG HBIIB JKJJK| In gentle showers the rain descends | A |
| And softly falls the dew | B |
| The dewdrop with the raindrop blends | A |
| The tiny stream they form then wends | A |
| Its way the grasses through | B |
| - | |
| And kindred streams with it combine | C |
| And form a rivulet | B |
| Then on it runs like trailing vine | C |
| Lays bare the roots of oak and pine | C |
| And other brooks are met | B |
| - | |
| The swelling stream meanders on | D |
| Gives power to busy mills | E |
| And bears huge ships its breast upon | D |
| Gives drink to kine and lovely fawn | F |
| And drinks up other rills | E |
| - | |
| A lady's foot had changed its course | E |
| And drank it dry a lamb | G |
| Had they but sought it at its source | E |
| But now it rushes on with force | E |
| And leaps the mighty dam | G |
| - | |
| Thus is it with our influence here | H |
| Each look each word each deed | B |
| Is like the rain or dewdrop clear | I |
| Though tiny things they now appear | I |
| They to the ocean lead | B |
| - | |
| As grains of sand make up the hill | J |
| Which towers above the plain | K |
| And drops combine to swell the rill | J |
| Which helps the mighty sea to fill | J |
| So does our influence gain | K |
