The Voice Of The Willows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGG HIFJKEFEGG LMFMFEKEGG| Hiding away from the sunlight | A |
| Close by a rippling stream | B |
| Hallowed by childish fancies | C |
| And many a waking dream | B |
| There is my royal palace | D |
| Within it my regal throne | E |
| The former a grave of willows | F |
| The latter a mossy stone | E |
| And legends of hope did the willows tell | G |
| To my childish ears in that rustic dell | G |
| - | |
| Here in my sunny childhood | H |
| I dreamed in my mystic home | I |
| Weaving the fairy garlands | F |
| To wear in the years to come | J |
| Friendship and love and honour | K |
| They all were to be my own | E |
| The future was strewn with roses | F |
| As I dreamed on my mossy stone | E |
| And still through the leaves as they fluttered or fell | G |
| The breezes sang in the willow dell | G |
| - | |
| Visions of hope are departed | L |
| Fairy like dreams have fled | M |
| The thorns still remain but the roses | F |
| Like friendship and love are dead | M |
| The breezes sigh through the willows | F |
| I ponder and dream alone | E |
| Of the life beyond the river | K |
| As I sit on my mossy stone | E |
| And the breezes sound like a funeral knell | G |
| As they sigh and sob through the willow dell | G |
