At Rainbow Lake Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCD EFEFGG HIHIJJ KIKILL MNMOPP QRQRSS TITIUUThere 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 |
