The Mountain And The Lake Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD BEBEFGHG IJIJIJ| I know a mountain thrilling to the stars | A |
| Peerless and pure and pinnacled with snow | B |
| Glimpsing the golden dawn o'er coral bars | A |
| Flaunting the vanisht sunset's garnet glow | B |
| Proudly patrician passionless serene | C |
| Soaring in silvered steeps where cloud surfs break | D |
| Virgin and vestal Oh a very Queen | C |
| And at her feet there dreams a quiet lake | D |
| - | |
| My lake adores my mountain well I know | B |
| For I have watched it from its dawn dream start | E |
| Stilling its mirror to her splendid snow | B |
| Framing her image in its trembling heart | E |
| Glassing her graciousness of greening wood | F |
| Kissing her throne melodiously mad | G |
| Thrilling responsive to her every mood | H |
| Gloomed with her sadness gay when she is glad | G |
| - | |
| My lake has dreamed and loved since time was born | I |
| Will love and dream till time shall cease to be | J |
| Gazing to Her in worship half forlorn | I |
| Who looks towards the stars and will not see | J |
| My peerless mountain splendid in her scorn | I |
| Alas poor little lake Alas poor me | J |
