The River Cherwell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFGEHH| Cherwell how pleased along thy willowed edge | A |
| Erewhile I strayed or when the morn began | B |
| To tinge the distant turret's golden fan | B |
| Or evening glimmered o'er the sighing sedge | A |
| And now reposing on thy banks once more | C |
| I bid the lute farewell and that sad lay | D |
| Whose music on my melancholy way | D |
| I wooed beneath thy willows waving hoar | C |
| Seeking a while to rest till the bright sun | E |
| Of joy return as when Heaven's radiant Bow | F |
| Beams on the night storm's passing wings below | G |
| Whate'er betide yet something have I won | E |
| Of solace that may bear me on serene | H |
| Till eve's last hush shall close the silent scene | H |
