A Day-dream's Reflection Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABBACDCDDC| Chequer'd with woven shadows as I lay | A |
| Among the grass blinking the watery gleam | B |
| I saw an Echo Spirit in his bay | A |
| Most idly floating in the noontide beam | B |
| Slow heaved his filmy skiff and fell with sway | A |
| Of ocean's giant pulsing and the Dream | B |
| Buoyed like the young moon on a level stream | B |
| Of greenish vapour at decline of day | A |
| Swam airily watching the distant flocks | C |
| Of sea gulls whilst a foot in careless sweep | D |
| Touched the clear trembling cool with tiny shocks | C |
| Faint circling till at last he dropt asleep | D |
| Lull'd by the hush song of the glittering deep | D |
| Lap lapping drowsily the heated rocks | C |
