Nun's Well, Brigham Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCDBBABBE| The cattle crowding round this beverage clear | A |
| To slake their thirst with reckless hoofs have trod | B |
| The encircling turf into a barren clod | B |
| Through which the waters creep then disappear | A |
| Born to be lost in Derwent flowing near | A |
| Yet o'er the brink and round the limestone cell | C |
| Of the pure spring they call it the Nun's Well | C |
| Name that first struck by chance my startled ear | D |
| A tender Spirit broods the pensive Shade | B |
| Of ritual honours to this Fountain paid | B |
| By hooded Votaresses with saintly cheer | A |
| Albeit oft the Virgin mother mild | B |
| Looked down with pity upon eyes beguiled | B |
| Into the shedding of too soft a tear | E |
