The Rainbow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSK T| Moist bright and green the landscape laughs around | A |
| Full swell the woods their every music wakes | B |
| Mix'd in wild concert with the warbling brooks | C |
| Increased the distant bleatings of the hills | D |
| And hollow lows responsive from the vales | E |
| Whence blending all the sweeten'd zephyr springs | F |
| Meantime refracted from yon eastern cloud | G |
| Bestriding earth the grand ethereal bow | H |
| Shoots up immense and every hue unfolds | I |
| In fair proportion running from the red | J |
| To where the violet fades into the sky | K |
| Here awful Newton the dissolving clouds | L |
| Form fronting on the sun thy showery prism | M |
| And to the sage instructed eye unfold | N |
| The various twine of light by thee disclosed | O |
| From the white mingling maze Not so the boy | P |
| He wondering views the bright enchantment bend | Q |
| Delightful o'er the radiant fields and runs | R |
| To catch the falling glory but amazed | S |
| Beholds th' amusive arch before him fly | K |
| Then vanish quite away | T |
