The Islet And The Palm Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF

O gentle sister spirit when you smileA
My soul is like a lonely coral isleA
An islet shadowed by a single palmB
Ringed round with reef and foam but inly calmB
-
And all day long I listen to the speechC
Of wind and water on my charmed beachC
I see far off beyond mine outer shoreD
The ocean flash and hear his harmless roarD
-
And in the night time when the glorious sunE
With all his life and all his light is doneE
The wind still murmurs in my slender treeF
And shakes the moonlight on the silver seaF
