To The River Itchin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEEDFFGHGH| Itchin when I behold thy banks again | A |
| Thy crumbling margin and thy silver breast | B |
| On which the self same tints still seem to rest | B |
| Why feels my heart a shivering sense of pain | C |
| Is it that many a summer's day has past | D |
| Since in life's morn I carolled on thy side | E |
| Is it that oft since then my heart has sighed | E |
| As Youth and Hope's delusive gleams flew fast | D |
| Is it that those who gathered on thy shore | F |
| Companions of my youth now meet no more | F |
| Whate'er the cause upon thy banks I bend | G |
| Sorrowing yet feel such solace at my heart | H |
| As at the meeting of some long lost friend | G |
| From whom in happier hours we wept to part | H |
