Long Island Sound Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAABBACDCEAA| I see it as it looked one afternoon | A |
| In August by a fresh soft breeze o'erblown | A |
| The swiftness of the tide the light thereon | A |
| A far off sail white as a crescent moon | A |
| The shining waters with pale currents strewn | A |
| The quiet fishing smacks the Eastern cove | B |
| The semi circle of its dark green grove | B |
| The luminous grasses and the merry sun | A |
| In the grave sky the sparkle far and wide | C |
| Laughter of unseen children cheerful chirp | D |
| Of crickets and low lisp of rippling tide | C |
| Light summer clouds fantastical as sleep | E |
| Changing unnoted while I gazed thereon | A |
| All these fair sounds and sights I made my own | A |
