For A Grotto Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHDDDIJDKDLMTo me whom in their lays the shepherds call | A |
Actaea daughter of the neighbouring stream | B |
This cave belongs The fig tree and the vine | C |
Which o'er the rocky entrance downward shoot | D |
Were plac'd by Glycon He with cowslips pale | E |
Primrose and purple lychnis deck'd the green | F |
Before my threshold and my shelving walls | G |
With honeysuckle cover'd Here at noon | H |
Lull'd by the murmur of my rising fount | D |
I slumber here my clustering fruits I tend | D |
Or from the humid flowers at break of day | D |
Fresh garlands weave and chace from all my bounds | I |
Each thing impure or noxious Enter in | J |
O stranger undismay'd nor bat nor toad | D |
Here lurks and if thy breast of blameless thoughts | K |
Approve thee not unwelcome shalt thou tread | D |
My quiet mansion chiefly if thy name | L |
Wise Pallas and the immortal muses own | M |
