Two Rivers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC ADAD EFEF DGDB

Thy summer voice MusketaquitA
Repeats the music of the rainB
But sweeter rivers pulsing flitA
Through thee as thou through the Concord PlainB
-
Thou in thy narrow banks art pentA
The stream I love unbounded goesC
Through flood and sea and firmamentA
Through light through life it forward flowsC
-
I see the inundation sweetA
I hear the spending of the steamD
Through years through men through Nature fleetA
Through love and thought through power and dreamD
-
Musketaquit a goblin strongE
Of shard and flint makes jewels gayF
They lose their grief who hear his songE
And where he winds is the day of dayF
-
So forth and brighter fares my streamD
Who drink it shall not thirst againG
No darkness taints its equal gleamD
And ages drop in it like rainB
