Soothing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPOQRS| I aimless wandered thro' the woods and flung | A |
| My idle limbs upon a soft brown bank | B |
| Where thickly strewn the worn out russet leaves | C |
| Rustled a faint remonstrance at my tread | D |
| The yellow fungi shewing pallid stems | E |
| The mossy lichen creeping o'er the stones | F |
| And making green the whitened hemlock bark | G |
| The dull wax of the woodland lily bud | H |
| On these my eye could rest and I was still | I |
| No sound was there save a low murmured cheep | J |
| From an ambitious nestling and the slow | K |
| And oft recurring plash of myriad waves | L |
| That spent their strength against the unheeding shore | M |
| Over and through a spreading undergrowth | N |
| I saw the gleaming of the tranquil sea | O |
| The woody scent of mosses and sweet ferns | P |
| Mingled with the fresh brine and came to me | O |
| Bringing a laudanum to my ceaseless pain | Q |
| A quietness stole in upon me then | R |
| And o'er my soul there passed a wave of peace | S |
