The Savoyard's Return Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCCEE CCCCFGFGCC CHIHCCCCEE

Oh yonder is the well known spotA
My dear my long lost native homeB
Oh welcome is yon little cotA
Where I shall rest no more to roamB
Oh I have travell'd far and wideC
O'er many a distant foreign landD
Each place each province I have triedC
And sung and danced my sarabandC
But all their charms could not prevailE
To steal my heart from yonder valeE
-
Of distant climes the false reportC
It lured me from my native landC
It bade me rove my sole supportC
My cymbals and my sarabandC
The woody dell the hanging rockF
The chamois skipping o'er the heightsG
The plain adorn'd with many a flockF
And oh a thousand more delightsG
That grace yon dear beloved retreatC
Have backward won my weary feetC
-
Now safe return'd with wandering tiredC
No more my little home I'll leaveH
And many a tale of what I've seenI
Shall while away the winter's eveH
Oh I have wandered far and wideC
O'er many a distant foreign landC
Each place each province I have triedC
And sung and danced my sarabandC
But all their charms could not prevailE
To steal my heart from yonder valeE
