The Isle Of Portland Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAFThe star filled seas are smooth to night | A |
From France to England strown | B |
Black towers above the Portland light | A |
The felon quarried stone | B |
- | |
On yonder island not to rise | C |
Never to stir forth free | D |
Far from his folk a dead lad lies | C |
That once was friends with me | D |
- | |
Lie you easy dream you light | A |
And sleep you fast for aye | E |
And luckier may you find the night | A |
Than ever you found the day | F |
