Meadowsweet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABAB CDDCCDThrough grass through amber'd cornfields our slow Stream | A |
Fringed with its flags and reeds and rushes tall | B |
And Meadowsweet the chosen of them all | B |
By wandering children yellow as the cream | A |
Of those great cows winds on as in a dream | A |
By mill and footbridge hamlet old and small | B |
Red roofs gray tower and sees the sunset gleam | A |
On mullion'd windows of an ivied Hall | B |
- | |
There once upon a time the heavy King | C |
Trod out its perfume from the Meadowsweet | D |
Strown like a woman's love beneath his feet | D |
In stately dance or jovial banqueting | C |
When all was new and in its wayfaring | C |
Our Streamlet curved as now through grass and wheat | D |
