The River Eden, Cumberland Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCCBDADAAA| Eden till now thy beauty had I viewed | A |
| By glimpses only and confess with shame | B |
| That verse of mine whate'er its varying mood | A |
| Repeats but once the sound of thy sweet name | B |
| Yet fetched from Paradise that honour came | B |
| Rightfully borne for Nature gives thee flowers | C |
| That have no rivals among British bowers | C |
| And thy bold rocks are worthy of their fame | B |
| Measuring thy course fair Stream at length I pay | D |
| To my life's neighbour dues of neighbourhood | A |
| But I have traced thee on thy winding way | D |
| With pleasure sometimes by this thought restrained | A |
| For things far off we toil while many a good | A |
| Not sought because too near is never gained | A |
