From The Porch At Runnymede Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG HIHI| I stand above the city's rush and din | A |
| And gaze far down with calm and undimmed eyes | B |
| To where the misty smoke wreath grey and dim | C |
| Above the myriad roofs and spires rise | B |
| - | |
| Still is my heart and vacant is my breath | D |
| This lovely view is breath and life to me | E |
| Why I could charm the icy soul of death | D |
| With such a sight as this I stand and see | E |
| - | |
| I hear no sound of labor's din or stir | F |
| I feel no weight of worldly cares or fears | G |
| Sweet song of birds of wings the soothing whirr | F |
| These sounds alone assail my listening ears | G |
| - | |
| Unwhipt of conscience here I stand alone | H |
| The breezes humbly kiss my garment's hem | I |
| I am a king the whole world is my throne | H |
| The blue grey sky my royal diadem | I |
