Sonnet (give Me A Cottage On Some Cambrian Wild) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHH| Give me a cottage on some Cambrian wild | A |
| Where far from cities I may spend my days | B |
| And by the beauties of the scene beguiled | A |
| May pity man's pursuits and shun his ways | B |
| While on the rock I mark the browsing goat | C |
| List to the mountain torrent's distant noise | D |
| Or the hoarse bittern's solitary note | C |
| I shall not want the world's delusive joys | D |
| But with my little scrip my book my lyre | E |
| Shall think my lot complete nor covet more | F |
| And when with time shall wane the vital fire | G |
| I'll raise my pillow on the desert shore | F |
| And lay me down to rest where the wild wave | H |
| Shall make sweet music o'er my lonely grave | H |
