To A Young Friend, On His Arriving At Cambridge Wet, When No Rain Had Fallen There Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD| If Gideon's fleece which drench'd with dew he found | A |
| While moisture none refresh'd the herbs around | A |
| Might fitly represent the church endow'd | B |
| With heavenly gifts to heathens not allow'd | B |
| In pledge perhaps of favours from on high | C |
| Thy locks were wet when others' locks were dry | C |
| Heaven grant us half the omen may we see | D |
| Not drought on others but much dew on thee | D |
William Cowper
