The Creek Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGHG IJIJ KLKL MNON LGLG LLLL| O cheerly cheerly by the road | A |
| And merrily down the billet | B |
| And where the acre field is sowed | C |
| With bristle bearded millet | B |
| - | |
| Then o'er a pebbled path that goes | D |
| Through vista and through dingle | E |
| Unto a farmstead's windowed rose | D |
| And roof of moss and shingle | E |
| - | |
| O darkly darkly through the bush | F |
| And dimly by the bowlder | G |
| Where cane and water cress grow lush | H |
| And woodland wilds are older | G |
| - | |
| Then o'er the cedared way that leads | I |
| Through burr and bramble thickets | J |
| Unto a burial ground of weeds | I |
| Fenced in with broken pickets | J |
| - | |
| Then sadly sadly down the vale | K |
| And wearily through the rushes | L |
| Where sunlight of the noon is pale | K |
| And e'en the zephyr hushes | L |
| - | |
| For oft her young face smiled upon | M |
| My deeps here willow shaded | N |
| And oft with bare feet in the sun | O |
| My shallows there she waded | N |
| - | |
| No more beneath the twinkling leaves | L |
| Shall stand the farmer's daughter | G |
| Sing softly past the cottage eaves | L |
| O memory haunted water | G |
| - | |
| No more shall bend her laughing face | L |
| Above me where the rose is | L |
| Sigh softly past the burial place | L |
| Where all her youth reposes | L |
