Slow And Reluctant Was The Long Descent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDDEDDE| Slow and reluctant was the long descent | A |
| With many farewell pious looks behind | B |
| And dumb misgivings where the path might wind | B |
| And questionings of nature as I went | A |
| The greener branches that above me bent | A |
| The broadening valleys quieted by mind | B |
| To the fair reasons of the Spring inclined | B |
| And to the Summer's tender argument | C |
| But sometimes as revolving night descended | D |
| And in my childish heart the new song ended | D |
| I lay down full of longing on the steep | E |
| And haunting still the lonely way I wended | D |
| Into my dreams the ancient sorrow blended | D |
| And with these holy echoes charmed my sleep | E |
