As A Beam O'er The Face Of The Waters May Glow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFG| As a beam o'er the face of the waters may glow | A |
| While the tide runs in darkness and coldness below | A |
| So the cheek may be tinged with a warm sunny smile | B |
| Though the cold heart to ruin runs darkly the while | B |
| - | |
| One fatal remembrance one sorrow that throws | C |
| Its bleak shade alike o'er our joys and our woes | C |
| To which life nothing darker or brighter can bring | D |
| For which joy has no balm and affliction no sting | D |
| - | |
| Oh this thought in the midst of enjoyment will stay | E |
| Like a dead leafless branch in the summer's bright ray | E |
| The beams of the warm sun play round it in vain | F |
| It may smile in his light but it blooms not again | G |
