At Bay Ridge, Long Island Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| Pleasant it is to lie amid the grass | A |
| Under these shady locusts half the day | B |
| Watching the ships reflected on the Bay | B |
| Topmast and shroud as in a wizard's glass | A |
| To note the swift and meagre swallow pass | A |
| Brushing the dewdrops from the lilac spray | B |
| Or else to sit and while the noon away | B |
| With some old love tale or to muse alas | A |
| On Dante in his exile sorrow worn | C |
| On Milton blind with inward seeing eyes | D |
| That made their own deep midnight and rich morn | C |
| To think that now beneath Italian skies | D |
| In such clear air as this by Tiber's wave | E |
| Daisies are trembling over Keats's grave | E |
