Fountain-s Abbey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLK MGAG NOCO| NEVER more when the day is o'er | A |
| Will the lonely vespers sound | B |
| No bells are ringing no monks are singing | C |
| When the moonlight falls around | B |
| - | |
| A few pale flowers which in other hours | D |
| May have cheered the dreary mood | E |
| When the votary turned to the world he had spurned | F |
| And repined at the solitude | E |
| - | |
| Still do they blow 'mid the ruins below | G |
| For fallen are fane and shrine | H |
| And the moss has grown o'er the sculptured stone | I |
| Of an altar no more divine | H |
| - | |
| Still on the walls where the sunshine falls | J |
| The ancient fruit tree grows | K |
| And o'er tablet and tomb extends the bloom | L |
| Of many a wilding rose | K |
| - | |
| Fair though they be yet they seemed to me | M |
| To mock the wreck below | G |
| For mighty the tower where the fragile flower | A |
| May now as in triumph blow | G |
| - | |
| Oh foolish the thought that my fancy brought | N |
| More true and more wise to say | O |
| That still thus doth spring some gentle thing | C |
| With its beauty to cheer decay | O |
