To Wordsworth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHIJ HKHKLH DLDLHH| Thine is a strain to read among the hills | A |
| The old and full of voices by the source | B |
| Of some free stream whose gladdening presence fills | A |
| The solitude with sound for in its course | B |
| Even such is thy deep song that seems a part | C |
| Of those high scenes a fountain from their heart | C |
| - | |
| Or its calm spirit fitly may be taken | D |
| To the still breast in sunny garden bowers | E |
| Where vernal winds each tree's low tones awaken | D |
| And bud and bell with changes mark the hours | E |
| There let thy thoughts be with me while the day | F |
| Sinks with a golden and serene decay | F |
| - | |
| Or by some hearth where happy faces meet | G |
| When night hath hush'd the woods with all their birds | H |
| There from some gentle voice that lay were sweet | G |
| As antique music link'd with household words | H |
| While in pleased murmurs woman's lip might move | I |
| And the rais'd eye of childhood shine in love | J |
| - | |
| Or where the shadows of dark solemn yews | H |
| Brood silently o'er some lone burial ground | K |
| Thy verse hath power that brightly might diffuse | H |
| A breath a kindling as of spring around | K |
| From its own glow of hope and courage high | L |
| And steadfast faith's victorious constancy | H |
| - | |
| True bard and holy thou art ev'n as one | D |
| Who by some secret gift of soul or eye | L |
| In every spot beneath the smiling sun | D |
| Sees where the springs of living waters lie | L |
| Unseen awhile they sleep till touch'd by thee | H |
| Bright healthful waves flow forth to each glad wanderer free | H |
