Marshlands Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CC DD EE FF GG| A thin wet sky that yellows at the rim | A |
| And meets with sun lost lip the marsh's brim | A |
| - | |
| The pools low lying dank with moss and mould | B |
| Glint through their mildews like large cups of gold | B |
| - | |
| Among the wild rice in the still lagoon | C |
| In monotone the lizard shrills his tune | C |
| - | |
| The wild goose homing seeks a sheltering | D |
| Where rushes grow and oozing lichens cling | D |
| - | |
| Late cranes with heavy wing and lazy flight | E |
| Sail up the silence with the nearing night | E |
| - | |
| And like a spirit swathed in some soft veil | F |
| Steals twilight and its shadows o'er the swale | F |
| - | |
| Hushed lie the sedges and the vapours creep | G |
| Thick grey and humid while the marshes sleep | G |
