To A Mountain Spring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCADACEEFGGFHII GGIEIE JKIIAA| Strange little spring by channels past our telling | A |
| Gentle resistless welling welling welling | A |
| Through what blind ways we know not whence | B |
| You darkling come to dance and dimple | C |
| Strange little spring | A |
| Nature hath no such innocence | D |
| And no more secret thing | A |
| So mysterious and so simple | C |
| Earth hath no such fairy daughter | E |
| Of all her witchcraft shapes of water | E |
| When all the land with summer burns | F |
| And brazen noon rides hot and high | G |
| And tongues are parched and grasses dry | G |
| Still are you green and hushed with ferns | F |
| And cool as some old sanctuary | H |
| Still are you brimming o'er with dew | I |
| And stars that dipped their feet in you | I |
| - | |
| And I believe when none is by | G |
| Only the young moon in the sky | G |
| The Greeks of old were right about you | I |
| A naiad like a marble flower | E |
| Lifts up her lovely shape from out you | I |
| Swaying like a silver shower | E |
| - | |
| So in old years dead and gone | J |
| Brimmed the spring on Helicon | K |
| Just a little spring like you | I |
| Ferns and moss and stars and dew | I |
| Nigh the sacred Muses' dwelling | A |
| Dancing dimpling welling welling | A |
