To The Ivy. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFEE| Dark creeping Ivy with thy berries brown | A |
| That fondly twists' on ruins all thine own | B |
| Old spire points studding with a leafy crown | A |
| Which every minute threatens to dethrone | B |
| With fearful eye I view thy height sublime | C |
| And oft with quicker step retreat from thence | D |
| Where thou in weak defiance striv'st with Time | C |
| And holdst his weapons in a dread suspense | D |
| But bloom of ruins thou art dear to me | E |
| When far from danger's way thy gloomy pride | F |
| Wreathes picturesque around some ancient tree | E |
| That bows his branches by some fountain side | F |
| Then sweet it is from summer suns to be | E |
| With thy green darkness overshadowing me | E |
