The Isle Of Portland Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD AEAF

The star filled seas are smooth to nightA
From France to England strownB
Black towers above the Portland lightA
The felon quarried stoneB
-
On yonder island not to riseC
Never to stir forth freeD
Far from his folk a dead lad liesC
That once was friends with meD
-
Lie you easy dream you lightA
And sleep you fast for ayeE
And luckier may you find the nightA
Than ever you found the dayF
