The Margin Of A Stream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABCBB DEFDEFBBGHIGHIBBJBJB| The margin of a stream the willow's shade | A |
| A mind inclined to song a mistress sweet | B |
| A Cup bearer whose cheek outshines the rose | C |
| A friend upon whose heart thy heart is laid | A |
| Oh Happy starred let not thine hours fleet | B |
| Unvalued may each minute as it goes | C |
| Lay tribute of enjoyment at thy feet | B |
| That thou may'st live and know thy life is sweet | B |
| - | |
| Let every one upon whose heart desire | D |
| For a fair face lies like a burden sore | E |
| That all his hopes may reach their goal unchecked | F |
| Throw branches of wild rue upon his fire | D |
| My soul is like a bride with a rich store | E |
| Of maiden thoughts and jewelled fancies decked | F |
| And in Time's gallery I yet may meet | B |
| Some picture meant for me some image sweet | B |
| Give thanks for nights spent in good company | G |
| And take the gifts a tranquil mind may bring | H |
| No heart is dark when the kind moon doth shine | I |
| And grass grown river banks are fair to see | G |
| The Saki's radiant eyes God favouring | H |
| Are like a wine cup brimming o'er with wine | I |
| And him my drunken sense goes out to greet | B |
| For e'en the pain he leaves behind is sweet | B |
| Hafiz thy life has sped untouched by care | J |
| With me towards the tavern turn thy feet | B |
| The fairest robbers thou'lt encounter there | J |
| And they will teach thee what to learn is sweet | B |
