The Sedges Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CADA EFEG CEDE| I whispered my great sorrow | A |
| To every listening sedge | B |
| And they bent bowed with my sorrow | A |
| Down to the water's edge | B |
| - | |
| But she stands and laughs lightly | C |
| To see me sorrow so | A |
| Like the light winds that laughing | D |
| Across the water go | A |
| - | |
| If I could tell the bright ones | E |
| That quiet hearted move | F |
| They would bend down like the sedges | E |
| With the sorrow of love | G |
| - | |
| But she stands laughing lightly | C |
| Who all my sorrow knows | E |
| Like the little wind that laughing | D |
| Across the water blows | E |
