Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF BGB BGBGHIJIJKWritten under the influence of Wordsworth with a slate | A |
pencil on a window of the dining room at the Lowood Hotel | B |
Windermere while waiting for tea after being present at | C |
the Grasmere Sports on a very wet day and in consequence of | D |
a recent perusal of Belinda a Novel by Miss Broughton | E |

- | |
How solemn is the front of this Hotel | B |
When now the hills are swathed in modest mist | G |
And none can speak of scenery nor tell | B |
Of 'tints of amber ' or of 'amethyst ' | - |
Here once thy daughters young Romance did dwell | B |
Here Sara flirted with whoever list | G |
Belinda loved not wisely but too well | B |
And Mr Ford played the Philologist | G |
Haunted the house is and the balcony | H |
Where that fond Matron knew her Lover near | I |
And here we sit and wait for tea and sigh | J |
While the sad rain sobs in the sullen mere | I |
And all our hearts go forth into the cry | J |
Would that the teller of the tale were here | K |
