A Shallow Stream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFEF| There is a stream to northward thinly spread | A |
| Over a shelving many fissured shale | B |
| That brawls and blusters in its shallow bed | A |
| And ends its course inglorious in a swale | B |
| Its babble stirs the laughter of the hills | C |
| The rooted mountains mock its fume and fret | D |
| And all the summer long the idle mills | C |
| Wait wearily with water wheel unwet | D |
| - | |
| Let us not waste our lives in froth and foam | E |
| And unavailing vanity of noise | F |
| Still waters deepest run the ancient gnome | E |
| Pricks well our sham conceited bubble toys | F |
| Who serve best here in God's great halidome | E |
| Have volume depth serenity and poise | F |
