On Sturminster Foot-bridge - Onomatopoeic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAB CDCCD| Reticulations creep upon the slack stream's face | A |
| When the wind skims irritably past | B |
| The current clucks smartly into each hollow place | A |
| That years of flood have scrabbled in the pier's sodden base | A |
| The floating lily leaves rot fast | B |
| - | |
| On a roof stand the swallows ranged in wistful waiting rows | C |
| Till they arrow off and drop like stones | D |
| Among the eyot withies at whose foot the river flows | C |
| And beneath the roof is she who in the dark world shows | C |
| As a lattice gleam when midnight moans | D |
