The Plateau Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHIG| It was the silver heart enveloping view | A |
| Of the mysterious sea line far away | B |
| Seen only on a gleaming gold white day | B |
| That made it dear and beautiful to you | A |
| - | |
| And Laura loved it for the little hill | C |
| Where the quartz sparkled fire barren and dun | D |
| Whence in the shadow of the dying sun | D |
| She contemplated Hallow's wooden mill | C |
| - | |
| While Danny liked the sheltering high grass | E |
| In which he lay upon a clear dry night | F |
| To hear and see screened skilfully from sight | F |
| The happy lovers of the valley pass | E |
| - | |
| But oh I loved it for the big round moon | G |
| That swung out of the clouds and swooned aloft | H |
| Burning with passion gloriously soft | I |
| Lighting the purple flowers of fragrant June | G |
