Reflections Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEAE FGHGIJBJ KLMLEAAA DNBNKOAO| On the margin of a lakelet | A |
| In a rugged mountain clime | B |
| Where precipice and pinnacle | C |
| Of countenance sublime | B |
| Cast their weird austere reflections | D |
| In the water's glistening sheen | E |
| I strolled in contemplative mood | A |
| Both pensive and serene | E |
| - | |
| As in a crystal mirror | F |
| In that lakelet's placid face | G |
| I saw the mountains upside down | H |
| With all their pristine grace | G |
| I saw each cliff and point of rocks | I |
| I saw the stately pine | J |
| Inverted in fantastic form | B |
| Below the water line | J |
| - | |
| I paused in admiration | K |
| And with calm complacency | L |
| I marveled at this photograph | M |
| From nature's gallery | L |
| And as my eyes surveyed the scene | E |
| With solemn grandeur fraught | A |
| This simile flashed through my mind | A |
| As instantly as thought | A |
| - | |
| As the stern majestic mountains | D |
| Without error or mistake | N |
| Were reflected in the bosom | B |
| Of that cool pellucid lake | N |
| So our every thought and action | K |
| Be it deed of hate or love | O |
| May be photographed in record | A |
| In that gallery above | O |
