Lines[a] Written In A Beautiful Spot, The Favourite Retreat Of Delia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGBBHH| Streams ever limpid fresh and clear | A |
| Where Delia's charms renew'd appear | A |
| Ye flow'rs that touch'd her snowy breast | B |
| Ye trees whereon she lov'd to rest | B |
| Ye scenes adorn'd where'er she flies | C |
| If grief shall close these woe worn eyes | C |
| May some kind form with hand benign | D |
| My body with this earth enshrine | D |
| That when the fairest nymph shall deign | E |
| To visit this delightful plain | E |
| That when she views my silent shade | F |
| And marks the change her love has made | F |
| The tear may tremble down her face | G |
| As show'rs the lily's leaves embrace | G |
| Then like the infant at the breast | B |
| That feels a sorrow unexprest | B |
| That pang shall gentle Delia know | H |
| And silent treasure up her woe | H |
