Inscription V: For A Monument At Silbury-hill Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLThis mound in some remote and dateless day | A |
Rear'd o'er a Chieftain of the Age of Hills | B |
May here detain thee Traveller from thy road | C |
Not idly lingering In his narrow house | D |
Some Warrior sleeps below his gallant deeds | E |
Haply at many a solemn festival | F |
The Bard has harp'd but perish'd is the song | G |
Of praise as o'er these bleak and barren downs | H |
The wind that passes and is heard no more | I |
Go Traveller on thy way and contemplate | J |
Glory's brief pageant and remember then | K |
That one good deed was never wrought in vain | L |
