On The Cliffs, Newport Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDCEFGEFG| Tonight a shimmer of gold lies mantled o'er | A |
| Smooth lovely Ocean Through the lustrous gloom | B |
| A savor steals from linden trees in bloom | B |
| And gardens ranged at many a palace door | C |
| Proud walls rise here and where the moonbeams pour | C |
| Their pale enchantment down the dim coast line | D |
| Terrace and lawn trim hedge and flowering vine | D |
| Crown with fair culture all the sounding shore | C |
| How sweet to such a place on such a night | E |
| From halls with beauty and festival a glare | F |
| To come distract and stretched on the cool turf | G |
| Yield to some fond improbable delight | E |
| While the moon reddening sinks and all the air | F |
| Sighs with the muffled tumult of the surf | G |
