Singing Water Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGBB| I heard 'twas on a morning but when it was and where | A |
| Except that well I heard it I neither know nor care | A |
| I heard and oh the sunlight was shining in the blue | B |
| A little water singing as little waters do | B |
| - | |
| At Lechlade and at Buscot where Summer days are long | C |
| The tiny rills and ripples they tremble into song | C |
| And where the silver Windrush brings down her liquid gems | D |
| There's music in the wavelets she tosses to the Thames | D |
| - | |
| The eddies have an air too and brave it is and blithe | E |
| I think I may have heard it that day at Bablockhythe | E |
| And where the Eynsham weir fall breaks out in rainbow spray | F |
| The Evenlode comes singing to join the pretty play | F |
| - | |
| But where I heard that music I cannot rightly tell | G |
| I only know I heard it and that I know full well | G |
| I heard a little water and oh the sky was blue | B |
| A little water singing as little waters do | B |
