A Lazy Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHHIIThe 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 |
Paul Laurence Dunbar
