For A Statue Of Chaucer At Woodstock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO| Such was old Chaucer such the placid mien | A |
| Of him who first with harmony inform'd | B |
| The language of our fathers Here he dwelt | C |
| For many a cheerful day these ancient walls | D |
| Have often heard him while his legends blithe | E |
| He sang of love or knighthood or the wiles | F |
| Of homely life through each estate and age | G |
| The fashions and the follies of the world | H |
| With cunning hand portraying Though perchance | I |
| From Blenheim's towers o stranger thou art come | J |
| Glowing with Churchill's trophies yet in vain | K |
| Dost thou applaud them if thy breast be cold | L |
| To him this other hero who in times | M |
| Dark and untaught began with charming verse | N |
| To tame the rudeness of his native land | O |
