The Lagoon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDECEFGCGHICIJKCK| WE crept through reed beds wet with dew | A |
| The sun went down in gold | B |
| Hoisting her round triumphantly | C |
| The moon showed red and bold | B |
| The unseen sea upon our right | D |
| In splendid turmoil broke | E |
| The spindrift driving ceaselessly | C |
| Was vague as drifting smoke | E |
| The grass tree lances spiked our flesh | F |
| The brushed ferns wet our knees | G |
| The she oaks crooning steadily | C |
| Stirred in the late salt breeze | G |
| Thus pushing on with velvet tread | H |
| Beneath the lavish moon | I |
| We saw spread wide spread gloriously | C |
| All gold the still lagoon | I |
| And on its breast a picture this | J |
| Recalling old time Dons | K |
| And Spanish galleons at sea | C |
| A squadron of black swans | K |
