Going For Water Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JGKG LMNM OPQP| The well was dry beside the door | A |
| And so we went with pail and can | B |
| Across the fields behind the house | C |
| To seek the brook if still it ran | B |
| - | |
| Not loth to have excuse to go | D |
| Because the autumn eve was fair | E |
| Though chill because the fields were ours | F |
| And by the brook our woods were there | E |
| - | |
| We ran as if to meet the moon | G |
| That slowly dawned behind the trees | H |
| The barren boughs without the leaves | I |
| Without the birds without the breeze | H |
| - | |
| But once within the wood we paused | J |
| Like gnomes that hid us from the moon | G |
| Ready to run to hiding new | K |
| With laughter when she found us soon | G |
| - | |
| Each laid on other a staying hand | L |
| To listen ere we dared to look | M |
| And in the hush we joined to make | N |
| We heard we knew we heard the brook | M |
| - | |
| A note as from a single place | O |
| A slender tinkling fall that made | P |
| Now drops that floated on the pool | Q |
| Like pearls and now a silver blade | P |
