A Rivulet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCACACADD| It is a lovely stream its wavelets purl | A |
| As if they echoed to the fall and rise | B |
| Of the capricious breeze each upward curl | A |
| That splashes pearl mirrors the fairy eyes | B |
| Of viewless passer and the billows hurl | A |
| Their sparkles on her lap as over she flies | B |
| And see where onward whirls within a ring | C |
| Of smoothest dimples a dark foxglove bell | A |
| Half stifled by the gush encircling | C |
| Perchance some tiny sprite crawled to that shell | A |
| To sleep away the noon and winds did swing | C |
| Him into rest for the warm sun was well | A |
| Shaded off by the long and silky down | D |
| So I will save it lest the elf should drown | D |
