The Hill. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGC| The holy lamps of Evening shine | A |
| Sheer in the West the air is still | B |
| As I sit with this heart of mine | A |
| At the foot of Parnassus' hill | B |
| Through my life's day I've reached to this | C |
| To see where the immortals trod | D |
| Winding up the dark height I wis | C |
| Till they came on the light of God | D |
| Ah I a pilgrim with tired feet | E |
| Have touched the verge of their renown | F |
| As I look up on Homer's seat | E |
| And know the bards may not come down | F |
| Still on those peaks as powers apart | G |
| They breathe the air now breathed by me | H |
| For each has climbed the human heart | G |
| The deathless hill of Poesy | C |
