Nothing Formed In Vain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGEHIJKLMNOPQRS TUVW| Let no presuming impious railer tax | A |
| Creative wisdom as if aught was form'd | B |
| In vain or not for admirable ends | C |
| Shall little haughty ignorance pronounce | D |
| His works unwise of which the smallest part | E |
| Excceeds the narrow vision of her mind | F |
| As if upon a full proportion'd dome | G |
| On swelling columns heav'd the pride of art | E |
| A critic fly whose feeble ray scarce spreads | H |
| An inch around with blind presumption bold | I |
| Should dare to tax the structure of the whole | J |
| And lives the man whose universal eye | K |
| Has swept at once th' unbounded scheme of things | L |
| Mark'd their dependence so and firm accord | M |
| As with unfalt'ring accent to conclude | N |
| That this availeth nought Has any seen | O |
| The mighty chain of beings less'ning down | P |
| From infinite perfection to the brink | Q |
| Of dreary nothing desolate abyss | R |
| From which astonish'd thought recoiling turns | S |
| Till then alone let zealous praise ascend | T |
| And hymns of holy wonder to that Power | U |
| Whose wisdom shines as lovely in our minds | V |
| As on our smiling eyes his servant sun | W |
