I Had Not Tried The Wine That Ancients Made Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGHI JKJK| I had not tried the wine that ancients made | A |
| And had not heard of Ossian s old tune | B |
| So why on earth I seem to see the glade | A |
| And in the skies the bloody Scottish moon | B |
| - | |
| And the call over of a raven with a harp | C |
| I faintly hear in that silence full of fright | D |
| And spread by winds the winter woolen scarves | E |
| Of knights are flashing in the red moonlight | D |
| - | |
| I had received the blessing to inherit | F |
| Another singer s ever rambling dreams | G |
| For kin s and neighbor s spiritual merits | H |
| To have despise we re absolutely free | I |
| - | |
| And not a lone treasure I suppose | J |
| Will pass grandchildren and to others fling | K |
| Again a scald will ancient songs compose | J |
| And as his own will again them sing | K |
