Nature Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFG HIJKKJ| Full of rebellion I would die | A |
| Or fight or travel or deny | A |
| That thou has aught to do with me | B |
| O tame my heart | C |
| It is thy highest art | C |
| To captivate strong holds to thee | B |
| - | |
| If thou shalt let this venom lurk | D |
| And in suggestions fume and work | D |
| My soul will turn to bubbles straight | E |
| And thence by kind | F |
| Vanish into a wind | F |
| Making thy workmanship deceit | G |
| - | |
| O smooth my rugged heart and there | H |
| Engrave thy rev'rend law and fear | I |
| Or make a new one since the old | J |
| Is sapless grown | K |
| And a much fitter stone | K |
| To hide my dust than thee to hold | J |
