Hayeswater Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEE FGFGHHBBA region desolate and wild | A |
Black chafing water and afloat | B |
And lonely as a truant child | A |
In a waste wood a single boat | B |
No mast no sails are set thereon | C |
It moves but never moveth on | D |
And welters like a human thing | E |
Amid the wild waves weltering | E |
- | |
Behind a buried vale doth sleep | F |
Far down the torrent cleaves its way | G |
In front the dumb rock rises steep | F |
A fretted wall of blue and grey | G |
Of shooting cliff and crumbled stone | H |
With many a wild weed overgrown | H |
All else black water and afloat | B |
One rood from shore that single boat | B |
