The Avon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEFGF| Avon a precious an immortal name | A |
| Yet is it one that other rivulets bear | B |
| Like this unheard of and their channels wear | B |
| Like this contented though unknown to Fame | A |
| For great and sacred is the modest claim | A |
| Of Streams to Nature's love where'er they flow | C |
| And ne'er did Genius slight them as they go | C |
| Tree flower and green herb feeding without blame | A |
| But Praise can waste her voice on work of tears | D |
| Anguish and death full oft where innocent blood | E |
| Has mixed its current with the limpid flood | E |
| Her heaven offending trophies Glory rears | F |
| Never for like distinction may the good | G |
| Shrink from 'thy' name pure Rill with unpleased ears | F |
