Erie Waters Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBB CCCDDD EEEFFF| A dash of yellow sand | A |
| Wind scattered and sun tanned | A |
| Some waves that curl and cream along the margin of the strand | A |
| And creeping close to these | B |
| Long shores that lounge at ease | B |
| Old Erie rocks and ripples to a fresh sou' western breeze | B |
| - | |
| A sky of blue and grey | C |
| Some stormy clouds that play | C |
| At scurrying up with ragged edge then laughing blow away | C |
| Just leaving in their trail | D |
| Some snatches of a gale | D |
| To whistling summer winds we lift a single daring sail | D |
| - | |
| O wind so sweet and swift | E |
| O danger freighted gift | E |
| Bestowed on Erie with her waves that foam and fall and lift | E |
| We laugh in your wild face | F |
| And break into a race | F |
| With flying clouds and tossing gulls that weave and interlace | F |
