On The Reed (from The Greek) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFBB| I was of late a barren plant | A |
| Useless insignificant | B |
| Nor fig nor grape nor apple bore | C |
| A native of the marshy shore | C |
| But gather'd for poetic use | D |
| And plunged into a sable juice | D |
| Of which my modicum I sip | E |
| With narrow mouth and slender lip | E |
| At once although by nature dumb | F |
| All eloquent I have become | F |
| And speak with fluency untired | B |
| As if by Phoebus' self inspired | B |
William Cowper
