The Meeting Of The Waters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFG HHIIThere 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 |
