By The Stream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD| By the stream I dream in calm delight and watch as in a glass | A |
| How the clouds like crowds of snowy hued and white robed maidens pass | A |
| And the water into ripples breaks and sparkles as it spreads | B |
| Like a host of armored knights with silver helmets on their heads | B |
| And I deem the stream an emblem fit of human life may go | C |
| For I find a mind may sparkle much and yet but shallows show | C |
| And a soul may glow with myriad lights and wondrous mysteries | D |
| When it only lies a dormant thing and mirrors what it sees | D |
