On The Water Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJHKL| The sound of bank and water is all I hear | A |
| The sad resignation of a weeping spring | B |
| Or a rock that hourly sheds a tear | C |
| And the birch leaves' vague quivering | B |
| - | |
| I do not see the river bear the boat along | D |
| The flowering shore flits past and I remain | E |
| And in the watery depths that I skim | F |
| The reflected blue sky flutters like a curtain | G |
| - | |
| Meandering in their sleep you might say the waters | H |
| Waver no longer sure where the bank lies | I |
| And the flower thrown in hesitates to choose | J |
| And like this flower all that man desires | H |
| Can settle on the river of my life | K |
| Without teaching me which way my wishes lie | L |
