Attadale, West Highlands Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFGEFG| A black and glassy float opaque and still | A |
| The loch at furthest ebb supine in sleep | B |
| Reversing mirrored in its luminous deep | B |
| The calm grey skies the solemn spurs of hill | A |
| Heather and corn and wisps of loitering haze | C |
| The wee white cots black hatted plumed with smoke | D |
| The braes beyond and when the ripple awoke | D |
| They wavered with the jarred and wavering glaze | C |
| The air was hushed and dreamy Evermore | E |
| A noise of running water whispered near | F |
| A straggling crow called high and thin A bird | G |
| Trilled from the birch leaves Round the shingled shore | E |
| Yellow with weed there wandered vague and clear | F |
| Strange vowels mysterious gutturals idly heard | G |
