Sonnet -- The Peasant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DEED FAAFGG| WIDE o'er the barren plain the bleak wind flies | A |
| Sweeps the high mountain's top and with its breath | B |
| Swells the curl'd river o'er the plain beneath | C |
| Where many a clay built hut in ruin lies | A |
| - | |
| The hardy PEASANT in his little cot | D |
| Lights his small fire his homely meal prepares | E |
| No pamper'd luxury no splendid cares | E |
| Invade the comforts of his humble lot | D |
| - | |
| Born to endure he labours thro' the day | F |
| And when the midnight storm o'er spreads the skies | A |
| On a clean pallet peacefully he lies | A |
| And sweetly sleeps the lonely hours away | F |
| Till at the peep of dawn he wakes to find | G |
| HEALTH in his veins and RAPTURE IN HIS MIND | G |
