A Lazy Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHHII| The trees bend down along the stream | A |
| Where anchored swings my tiny boat | B |
| The day is one to drowse and dream | A |
| And list the thrush's throttling note | B |
| When music from his bosom bleeds | C |
| Among the river's rustling reeds | C |
| - | |
| No ripple stirs the placid pool | D |
| When my adventurous line is cast | E |
| A truce to sport while clear and cool | D |
| The mirrored clouds slide softly past | E |
| The sky gives back a blue divine | F |
| And all the world's wide wealth is mine | F |
| - | |
| A pickerel leaps a bow of light | G |
| The minnows shine from side to side | H |
| The first faint breeze comes up the tide | H |
| I pause with half uplifted oar | I |
| While night drifts down to claim the shore | I |
