On The Lake Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFF GGAAHH IIDDEE GGJJIF KLFFCC| There's a beautiful lake where the sun lies low | A |
| And the skies are warm with their summer glow | A |
| And a beautiful picture there I see | B |
| Where the winds are warm and the waves are free | B |
| And the waves lie still in the sun | C |
| As the flowers at night when the day is done | C |
| - | |
| You may sing of your silvery seas by night | D |
| When the moon looks down with a dreamy light | D |
| And the stars shine out in the skies above | E |
| Like the warm sweet gaze of the eyes of love | E |
| But the glow on the lake to day | F |
| Is a glory that never will fade away | F |
| - | |
| The beautiful lake is a sea of gold | G |
| And the beauty it wears will never grow old | G |
| The trees bend down in the sun's warm glow | A |
| Till their branches meet in the waves below | A |
| And the clouds in the far off skies | H |
| Are mirrored anew where the sunlight lies | H |
| - | |
| I love to float where the shadows lie | I |
| 'Neath the matchless glow of the summer sky | I |
| And I love to dream that these waves of light | D |
| Will never fade in the gloomy night | D |
| But I know that the things I love | E |
| Are as far from my reach as the clouds above | E |
| - | |
| Oh the beautiful lake is a sea of gold | G |
| And the beauty it wears will never grow old | G |
| The cloudlets of Heaven are mirrored there | J |
| In a golden splendor so bright and fair | J |
| That the soul is dazzled for aye | I |
| By the beautiful light of this summer's day | F |
| - | |
| Oh I love to dream when this life is o'er | K |
| We shall moor our boats near the golden shore | L |
| And our sorrows shall drift from us far away | F |
| As the leaves that float in their idle play | F |
| And the waves shall smile in the sun | C |
| When the night is over and life is done | C |
