The Source Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFEGFG HHIII| Water in hidden glens | A |
| From the secret heart of the mountains | B |
| Where the red fox hath its dens | A |
| And the gods their crystal fountains | B |
| Up runnel and leaping cataract | C |
| Boulder and ledge I climbed and tracked | C |
| Till I came to the top of the world and the fen | D |
| That drinks up the clouds and cisterns the rain | E |
| And down through the floors of the deep morass | F |
| The procreant woodland essences drain | E |
| The thunder's home where the eagles scream | G |
| And the centaurs pass | F |
| But where it was born I lost my stream | G |
| - | |
| 'Twas in vain I said 'Tis here it springs | H |
| Though no more it leaps and no more it sings | H |
| And I thought of a poet whose songs I knew | I |
| Of morning made and shining dew | I |
| I remembered the mire of the marshes too | I |
