Nature Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEE FFGGHH IIJJKL| O Nature I do not aspire | A |
| To be the highest in thy choir | B |
| To be a meteor in thy sky | C |
| Or comet that may range on high | C |
| Only a zephyr that may blow | D |
| Among the reeds by the river low | D |
| Give me thy most privy place | E |
| Where to run my airy race | E |
| - | |
| In some withdrawn unpublic mead | F |
| Let me sigh upon a reed | F |
| Or in the woods with leafy din | G |
| Whisper the still evening in | G |
| Some still work give me to do | H |
| Only be it near to you | H |
| - | |
| For I'd rather be thy child | I |
| And pupil in the forest wild | I |
| Than be the king of men elsewhere | J |
| And most sovereign slave of care | J |
| To have one moment of thy dawn | K |
| Than share the city's year forlorn | L |
