The Rhine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGG| 'Twas morn and beauteous on the mountain's brow | A |
| Hung with the clusters of the bending vine | B |
| Shone in the early light when on the Rhine | B |
| We bounded and the white waves round the prow | A |
| In murmurs parted varying as we go | C |
| Lo the woods open and the rocks retire | D |
| As some gray convent wall or glistening spire | D |
| 'Mid the bright landscape's track unfolding slow | C |
| Here dark with furrowed aspect like Despair | E |
| Frowns the bleak cliff There on the woodland's side | F |
| The shadowy sunshine pours its streaming tide | F |
| Whilst Hope enchanted with the scene so fair | E |
| Counts not the hours of a long summer's day | G |
| Nor heeds how fast the prospect winds away | G |
