Burns-s Statue At Irvine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBA CDCDDC EFEFFE GHGHHG IJIJJI| Yes let His place be there | A |
| Where the lone moorland gazes on the sea | B |
| Not in the squalid street nor pompous square | A |
| So that he again may be | B |
| From contamination free | B |
| His pedestal the plain his canopy the air | A |
| - | |
| There leave him all alone | C |
| Too much too long he herded with his kind | D |
| Lured by the frolic phantoms that dethrone | C |
| Honest heart and homely mind | D |
| Phantoms that besot and blind | D |
| Then leave the troubled soul to suffer and atone | C |
| - | |
| From city stain and broil | E |
| Hither his rustic memory reclaim | F |
| Leading him back strayed suckling of the soil | E |
| Homeward that forgiving Fame | F |
| May around his shriven name | F |
| A halo wind shall Time nor Truth itself despoil | E |
| - | |
| Quickly the Poet learns | G |
| The little that the alien world can teach | H |
| Then he if wise to solitude returns | G |
| Communing on brae and beach | H |
| With old Ocean's rhythmic speech | H |
| Message of wandering winds or lore of mountain burns | G |
| - | |
| 'Tis there that Nature fills | I |
| His brooding heart with all he needs to know | J |
| Moan of the main and rapture of the rills | I |
| So that whether joy or woe | J |
| Fire his verse it still may glow | J |
| Clear as her heaven fed streams and soaring as her hills | I |
