The Meeting Of The Waters.[1] Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFG HHII| There is not in the wide world a valley so sweet | A |
| As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet | A |
| Oh the last rays of feeling and life must depart | B |
| Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart | B |
| - | |
| Yet it was not that nature had shed o'er the scene | C |
| Her purest of crystal and brightest of green | C |
| 'Twas not her soft magic of streamlet or hill | D |
| Oh no it was something more exquisite still | D |
| - | |
| 'Twas that friends the beloved of my bosom were near | E |
| Who made every dear scene of enchantment more dear | E |
| And who felt how the best charms of nature improve | F |
| When we see them reflected from looks that we love | G |
| - | |
| Sweet vale of Avoca how calm could I rest | H |
| In thy bosom of shade with the friends I love best | H |
| Where the storms that we feel in this cold world should cease | I |
| And our hearts like thy waters be mingled in peace | I |
