The Consolation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGDG HIJI IKIK LGLG MNMN OPOP G| Though bleak these woods and damp the ground | A |
| With fallen leaves so thickly strewn | B |
| And cold the wind that wanders round | A |
| With wild and melancholy moan | C |
| There is a friendly roof I know | D |
| Might shield me from the wintry blast | E |
| There is a fire whose ruddy glow | D |
| Will cheer me for my wanderings past | E |
| - | |
| And so though still where'er I roam | F |
| Cold stranger glances meet my eye | G |
| Though when my spirit sinks in woe | D |
| Unheeded swells the unbidden sigh | G |
| - | |
| Though solitude endured too long | H |
| Bids youthful joys too soon decay | I |
| Makes mirth a stranger to my tongue | J |
| And overclouds my noon of day | I |
| - | |
| When kindly thoughts that would have way | I |
| Flow back discouraged to my breast | K |
| I know there is though far away | I |
| A home where heart and soul may rest | K |
| - | |
| Warm hands are there that clasped in mine | L |
| The warmer heart will not belie | G |
| While mirth and truth and friendship shine | L |
| In smiling lip and earnest eye | G |
| - | |
| The ice that gathers round my heart | M |
| May there be thawed and sweetly then | N |
| The joys of youth that now depart | M |
| Will come to cheer my soul again | N |
| - | |
| Though far I roam this thought shall be | O |
| My hope my comfort everywhere | P |
| While such a home remains to me | O |
| My heart shall never know despair | P |
| - | |
| Hespera Caverndel | G |
