Solitude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACBDBDD EFGFFDFDDTo sit on rocks to muse o'er flood and fell | A |
To slowly trace the forest's shady scene | B |
Where things that own not man's dominion dwell | A |
And mortal foot hath ne'er or rarely been | C |
To climb the trackless mountain all unseen | B |
With the wild flock that never needs a fold | D |
Alone o'er steeps and foaming falls to lean | B |
This is not solitude 'tis but to hold | D |
Converse with Nature's charms and view her stores unrolled | D |
- | |
But midst the crowd the hurry the shock of men | E |
To hear to see to feel and to possess | F |
And roam alone the world's tired denizen | G |
With none who bless us none whom we can bless | F |
Minions of splendour shrinking from distress | F |
None that with kindred consciousness endued | D |
If we were not would seem to smile the less | F |
Of all the flattered followed sought and sued | D |
This is to be alone this this is solitude | D |
George Gordon Lord Byron
