Lines To A Beautiful Spring In A Village Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIIJJ KKLLMMKKNNOP| Once more sweet stream with slow foot wand'ring near | A |
| I bless thy milky waters cold and clear | A |
| Escaped the flashing of the noontide hours | B |
| With one fresh garland of Pierian flowers | B |
| Ere from thy zephyr haunted brink I turn | C |
| My languid hand shall wreath thy mossy urn | C |
| For not thro' pathless grove with murmur rude | D |
| Then soothest the sad wood nymph solitude | D |
| Nor thine unseen in cavern depths to well | E |
| The hermit fountain of some dripping cell | E |
| Pride of the vale thy useful streams supply | F |
| The scattered cots and peaceful hamlet nigh | F |
| The elfin tribe around thy friendly banks | G |
| With infant uproar and soul soothing pranks | G |
| Released from school their little hearts at rest | H |
| Launch paper navies on thy waveless breast | H |
| The rustic here at eve with pensive look | I |
| Whistling lorn ditties leans upon his crook | I |
| Or starting pauses with hope mingled dread | J |
| To list the much loved maid's accustom'd tread | J |
| She vainly mindful of her dame's command | K |
| Loiters the long filled pitcher in her hand | K |
| Unboastful stream thy fount with pebbled falls | L |
| The faded form of past delight recalls | L |
| What time the morning sun of hope arose | M |
| And all was joy save when another's woes | M |
| A transient gloom upon my soul imprest | K |
| Like passing clouds impictured on thy breast | K |
| Life's current then ran sparkling to the noon | N |
| Or silvery stole beneath the pensive moon | N |
| Ah now it works rude brakes and thorns among | O |
| Or o'er the rough rock bursts and foams along | P |
