The Wood Water Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI JKJK LMLM DDDD| An evil stealthy water dark as hate | A |
| Sunk from the light of day | B |
| 'Thwart which is hung a ruined water gate | A |
| Creeps on its stagnant way | B |
| - | |
| Moss and the spawny duckweed dim as air | C |
| And green as copperas | D |
| Choke its dull current and like hideous hair | C |
| Tangles of twisted grass | D |
| - | |
| Above it sinister trees as crouched and gaunt | E |
| As huddled Terror lean | F |
| Guarding some secret in that nightmare haunt | E |
| Some horror they have seen | F |
| - | |
| Something the sunset points at from afar | G |
| Spearing the sullen wood | H |
| And hag gray water with a single bar | G |
| Of flame as red as blood | I |
| - | |
| Something the stars conspiring with the moon | J |
| Shall look on and remain | K |
| Frozen with fear staring as in a swoon | J |
| Striving to flee in vain | K |
| - | |
| Something the wisp that wandering in the night | L |
| Above the ghastly stream | M |
| Haply shall find and filled with frantic fright | L |
| Light with its ghostly gleam | M |
| - | |
| Something that lies there under weed and ooze | D |
| With wide and awful eyes | D |
| And matted hair and limbs the waters bruise | D |
| That strives yet can not rise | D |
