High And Low Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGHHGIJJI ACCA| The grasses green of sweet content | A |
| That spring no matter high or low | B |
| Where'er a living thing can grow | B |
| On chilly hills and rocky rent | A |
| And by the lowly streamlet's side | C |
| Oh why did e'er I turn from these | D |
| The lordly tall umbrageous trees | D |
| That stand in high aspiring pride | C |
| With massive bulk on high sustain | E |
| A world of boughs with leaf and fruits | F |
| And drive their wide extending roots | F |
| Deep down into the subject plain | E |
| Oh what with these had I to do | G |
| That germs of things above their kind | H |
| May live pent up and close confined | H |
| In humbler forms it may be true | G |
| Yet great is that which gives our lot | I |
| High laws and powers our will transcend | J |
| And not for this till time do end | J |
| Shall any be what he is not | I |
| Each in its place as each was sent | A |
| Just nature ranges side by side | C |
| Alike the oak tree's lofty pride | C |
| And grasses green of sweet content | A |
