By The Lake Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDCFGFG| Across the flat and the pastel snow | A |
| Two people go 'And do you remember | B |
| When last we wandered this shore ' 'Ah no | A |
| For it is cold hearted December ' | C |
| 'Dead the leaves that like asses's ears hung on the trees | D |
| When last we wandered and squandered joy here | E |
| Now Midas your husband will listen for these | D |
| Whispers these tears for joy's bier ' | C |
| And as they walk they seem tall pagodas | F |
| And all the ropes let down from the cloud | G |
| Ring the hard cold bell buds upon the trees codas | F |
| Of overtones ecstasies grown for love's shroud | G |
