The Avon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCEDF| WHAT are the Willows whispering in a row | A |
| Nodding their old heads o'er the river's edge | B |
| What does the West wind whisper to the sedge | B |
| And to the shame faced purples drooping low | A |
| Why sobs the water in its broken flow | A |
| Lapping against the grey weir's ruined ledge | B |
| And in the thorny shelter of the hedge | B |
| What bird unloads his heart of woe | A |
| - | |
| Green Avon's haunted Look from yonder bank | C |
| The willow leans that hath not ceased to weep | D |
| Whence hanging garlands fair Ophelia sank | C |
| Since Jacques moped here the trees have had a tongue | E |
| And all these streams and whispering willows keep | D |
| The moan of Desdemona's dying song | F |
