Inscription Vii: For A Tablet On The Banks Of A Stream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDCCEFGHIJKCL| Stranger awhile upon this mossy bank | A |
| Recline thee If the Sun rides high the breeze | B |
| That loves to ripple o'er the rivulet | C |
| Will play around thy brow and the cool sound | C |
| Of running waters soothe thee Mark how clear | D |
| It sparkles o'er the shallows and behold | C |
| Where o'er its surface wheels with restless speed | C |
| Yon glossy insect on the sand below | E |
| How the swift shadow flies The stream is pure | F |
| In solitude and many a healthful herb | G |
| Bends o'er its course and drinks the vital wave | H |
| But passing on amid the haunts of man | I |
| It finds pollution there and rolls from thence | J |
| A tainted tide Seek'st thou for HAPPINESS | K |
| Go Stranger sojourn in the woodland cot | C |
| Of INNOCENCE and thou shalt find her there | L |
