The Starling Lake Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEABDGB| My sorrow that I am not by the little d uacute n | A |
| By the lake of the starlings at Rosses under the hill | B |
| And the larks there singing over the fields of dew | C |
| Or evening there and the sedges still | B |
| For plain I see now the length of the yellow sand | D |
| And Lissadell far off and its leafy ways | E |
| And the holy mountain whose mighty heart | F |
| Gathers into it all the coloured days | E |
| My sorrow that I am not by the little d uacute n | A |
| By the lake of the starlings at evening when all is still | B |
| And still in whispering sedges the herons stand | D |
| 'Tis there I would nestle at rest till the quivering moon | G |
| Uprose in the golden quiet over the hill | B |
