Rhyme Scheme: ABBBB ACCCCCCCA CCCCCAAA CCCCACCCDDDDA AEFGGHHIICC

The waters leapA
The waters roarB
And on the shoreB
One sycamoreB
Stands towering hoarB
-
The mountains heapA
Gaunt pines and cragsC
That hoar frost shagsC
And pierced with snagsC
Like horns of stagsC
The water lagsC
The water dragsC
Where trees like hagsC
Lean from the steepA
-
The mist beginsC
To swirl then spinsC
'Mid outs and insC
Of heights and thinsC
Where the torrent dinsC
And lost in sweepA
Of its whiteness deepA
The valleys sleepA
-
Now morning strikesC
On wild rampikesC
Of forest spikesC
And down dim dykesC
Of dawn like sheepA
Scatters the mistsC
And amethystsC
With light that twistsC
And rifts that runD
Azure with sunD
Wild whirled and spunD
The foggy dunD
O' the heavens deepA
-
Look how they keepA
Majestic wardE
Gigantic guardF
And gaze rock browedG
Through mist and cloudG
Eternal vastH
As ages pastH
And seem to speakI
With peak on peakI
Of God and seeC
EternityC
