Imitation Of Spenser Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCC DEDEEFEFE EGEHHIHII EJFJJKJKK

Now Morning from her orient chamber cameA
And her first footsteps touch'd a verdant hillB
Crowning its lawny crest with amber flameA
Silv'ring the untainted gushes of its rillB
Which pure from mossy beds did down distillB
And after parting beds of simple flowersC
By many streams a little lake did fillB
Which round its marge reflected woven bowersC
And in its middle space a sky that never lowersC
-
There the king fisher saw his plumage brightD
Vieing with fish of brilliant dye belowE
Whose silken fins and golden scales' lightD
Cast upward through the waves a ruby glowE
There saw the swan his neck of arched snowE
And oar'd himself along with majestyF
Sparkled his jetty eyes his feet did showE
Beneath the waves like Afric's ebonyF
And on his back a fay reclined voluptuouslyE
-
Ah could I tell the wonders of an isleE
That in that fairest lake had placed beenG
I could e'en Dido of her grief beguileE
Or rob from aged Lear his bitter teenH
For sure so fair a place was never seenH
Of all that ever charm'd romantic eyeI
It seem'd an emerald in the silver sheenH
Of the bright waters or as when on highI
Through clouds of fleecy white laughs the c rulean skyI
-
And all around it dipp'd luxuriouslyE
Slopings of verdure through the glossy tideJ
Which as it were in gentle amityF
Rippled delighted up the flowery sideJ
As if to glean the ruddy tears it triedJ
Which fell profusely from the rose tree stemK
Haply it was the workings of its prideJ
In strife to throw upon the shore a gemK
Outviewing all the buds in Flora's diademK
