Inscription Iii. For A Cavern That Overlooks The River Avon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMLNOPQRSEnter this cavern Stranger the ascent | A |
Is long and steep and toilsome here awhile | B |
Thou mayest repose thee from the noontide heat | C |
O'ercanopied by this arch'd rock that strikes | D |
A grateful coolness clasping its rough arms | E |
Round the rude portal the old ivy hangs | F |
Its dark green branches down and the wild Bees | G |
O'er its grey blossoms murmuring ceaseless make | H |
Most pleasant melody No common spot | I |
Receives thee for the Power who prompts the song | J |
Loves this secluded haunt The tide below | K |
Scarce sends the sound of waters to thine ear | L |
And this high hanging forest to the wind | M |
Varies its many hues Gaze Stranger here | L |
And let thy soften'd heart intensely feel | N |
How good how lovely Nature When from hence | O |
Departing to the City's crouded streets | P |
Thy sickening eye at every step revolts | Q |
From scenes of vice and wretchedness reflect | R |
That Man creates the evil he endures | S |
