The Lake Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKK| I am a lake altered by every wind | A |
| The mild South breathes upon me and I spread | B |
| A dance of merry ripples in the sun | C |
| The West comes stormily and I am troubled | D |
| My waves conflict and black depths show between them | E |
| Under the East wind bitter I grow and chill | F |
| Slate coloured desolate hopeless But when blows | G |
| A steady wind from the North my motion ceases | H |
| I am frozen smooth and hard my conquered surface | I |
| Returns the skies' cold light without a comment | J |
| I make no sound nor can I nor can I show | K |
| What depth I have if any depth below | K |
