Heaven Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFGHHIIBJKKLL MMNNOODDPPQQRR| Fish fly replete in depth of June | A |
| Dawdling away their wat'ry noon | A |
| Ponder deep wisdom dark or clear | B |
| Each secret fishy hope or fear | B |
| Fish say they have their Stream and Pond | C |
| But is there anything Beyond | C |
| This life cannot be All they swear | D |
| For how unpleasant if it were | E |
| One may not doubt that somehow Good | F |
| Shall come of Water and of Mud | G |
| And sure the reverent eye must see | H |
| A Purpose in Liquidity | H |
| We darkly know by Faith we cry | I |
| The future is not Wholly Dry | I |
| Mud unto mud Death eddies near | B |
| Not here the appointed End not here | J |
| But somewhere beyond Space and Time | K |
| Is wetter water slimier slime | K |
| And there they trust there swimmeth One | L |
| Who swam ere rivers were begun | L |
| Immense of fishy form and mind | M |
| Squamous omnipotent and kind | M |
| And under that Almighty Fin | N |
| The littlest fish may enter in | N |
| Oh never fly conceals a hook | O |
| Fish say in the Eternal Brook | O |
| But more than mundane weeds are there | D |
| And mud celestially fair | D |
| Fat caterpillars drift around | P |
| And Paradisal grubs are found | P |
| Unfading moths immortal flies | Q |
| And the worm that never dies | Q |
| And in that Heaven of all their wish | R |
| There shall be no more land say fish | R |
