At Rainbow Lake Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD EFEFGG HIHIJJ KIKILL MNMOPP QRQRSS TITIUU| There is a spot far from the world's uproar | A |
| Amid great mountains | B |
| Where softly sleeps a lake to whose still shore | A |
| Steal silvery fountains | B |
| That hide beneath the leafy underwood | C |
| And blend their voices with the solitude | D |
| - | |
| Save where the beaver meadow's olive sheen | E |
| In sunlight glimmers | F |
| On every side a mass of waving green | E |
| The forest shimmers | F |
| And oft re echoes with the black bear's tread | G |
| That silences the song birds overhead | G |
| - | |
| Here thickly droops the moss from patriarch trees | H |
| And loons fly wailing | I |
| Here king birds' screams come hoarsely down the breeze | H |
| And hawks are sailing | I |
| Above the trees Here Nature dwells alone | J |
| Of man unknowing and to man unknown | J |
| - | |
| Smiling she rises when the morning air | K |
| The dawn just breaking | I |
| Bids the still woodlands for the day prepare | K |
| And Life awaking | I |
| Welcomes the Sun whose bride the Morn is kissed | L |
| And blushing lays aside her veil of mist | L |
| - | |
| Here Nature with each passing hour reveals | M |
| Peculiar graces | N |
| At noonday she grows languid and then steals | M |
| To shady places | O |
| And revels in their coolness at her feet | P |
| A stream that fills with music her retreat | P |
| - | |
| At eve she comes and blushing like a maid | Q |
| Unrobes in shadows | R |
| Bathes in the lake and wanders through the glade | Q |
| And o'er the meadows | R |
| From her dank locks wherever she doth pass | S |
| The diamond dew drops dripping to the grass | S |
| - | |
| And then she sleeps when o'er the lake's calm tide | T |
| The Moon comes stealing | I |
| And draws from her the veil of night aside | T |
| Her charms revealing | I |
| While silent stars keep ceaseless watch above | U |
| And all the earth breathes peace and rest and love | U |
