Looking Down Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABAABCDCDCD| Mountains of sorrow I have heard your moans | A |
| And the moving of your pines but we sit high | B |
| On your green shoulders nearer stoops the sky | B |
| And pure airs visit us from all the zones | A |
| Sweet world beneath too happy far to sigh | B |
| Dost thou look thus beheld from heavenly thrones | A |
| No not for all the love that counts thy stones | A |
| While sleepy with great light the valleys lie | B |
| Strange rapturous peace its sunshine doth enfold | C |
| My heart I have escaped to the days divine | D |
| It seemeth as bygone ages back had rolled | C |
| And all the eldest past was now was mine | D |
| Nay even as if Melchizedec of old | C |
| Might here come forth to us with bread and wine | D |
