Give Me A Roof Where Wisdom Dwells Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBC CDDBBEEBB| Give me a roof where Wisdom dwells | A |
| Where honeysuckle smiles and smells | A |
| A bleating flock some lowing kine | B |
| An honest welcome always mine | B |
| A homely draught a humble meal | C |
| - | |
| Leisure to live to think to feel | C |
| A narrow plot a prospect wide | D |
| A patch upon the mountain side | D |
| From these my heart you will not wean | B |
| For Fashion's tinsel Splendour's sheen | B |
| The Sceptre's favour Senate's prize | E |
| No nor the Empire of your eyes | E |
| Farewell The Valley be your own | B |
| And I will scale the heights alone | B |
