The Arbour Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBDEFEGFG| There is a wilder'd spot delights me well | A |
| Pent in a corner of my native vale | B |
| Where tiny blossoms with a purple bell | A |
| Shiver their beauties to the autumn gale | B |
| 'Tis one of those mean arbours that prevail | B |
| With manhood's weakness still to seek and love | C |
| For what is past Destruction's axe did fail | B |
| To cut it down with its companion grove | D |
| Though but a trifling thorn oft shelt'ring warm | E |
| A brood of summer birds by nature led | F |
| To seek for covert in a hasty storm | E |
| I often think it lifts its lonely cares | G |
| In piteous bloom where all the rest are fled | F |
| Like a poor warrior the rude battle spares | G |
