The Brooklet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCDEFDDGHIEEJJK LLAA| A LITTLE brooklet trilled a song | A |
| As merry as the day was long | A |
| At which a music hater stung | B |
| To frenzy said 'I'll bind thy tongue | B |
| And quell thy merriment ' That night | C |
| A dam check'd babbler's song and flight | C |
| But blind are ever hate and spite | C |
| And so it fell the brook did swell | D |
| Ah truth to say ere dawn of day | E |
| Had grown a sea unquelled would be | F |
| And soon with ruin down the dell | D |
| Dashed with a fierce triumphant yell | D |
| And cried 'Ha ha ho ho oh la | G |
| Where now thy skill my voice to still | H |
| Ah dost thou find that he who'd bind | I |
| The tongue e'en of a rillet may | E |
| Be doomed to hear instead one day | E |
| What shall with terror seize control | J |
| And wring with agony his soul | J |
| In very deed then reek the rede ' | K |
| Thus yell'd the flood and onward swept | L |
| And music hater heard and wept | L |
| And so weep all who'd try or long | A |
| To render dumb the child of song | A |
