Sonnet: To The River Otter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACDCDCDACA| Dear native Brook wild Streamlet of the West | A |
| How many various fated years have past | B |
| What happy and what mournful hours since last | B |
| I skimm'd the smooth thin stone along thy breast | A |
| Numbering its light leaps yet so deep imprest | A |
| Sink the sweet scenes of childhood that mine eyes | C |
| I never shut amid the sunny ray | D |
| But straight with all their tints thy waters rise | C |
| Thy crossing plank thy marge with willows grey | D |
| And bedded sand that vein'd with various dyes | C |
| Gleam'd through thy bright transparence On my way | D |
| Visions of Childhood oft have ye beguil'd | A |
| Lone manhood's cares yet waking fondest sighs | C |
| Ah that once more I were a careless Child | A |
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
