Inscription Viii: For The Cenotaph At Ermenonville Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMN O| STRANGER the MAN OF NATURE lies not here | A |
| Enshrin'd far distant by his rival's side | B |
| His relics rest there by the giddy throng | C |
| With blind idolatry alike revered | D |
| Wiselier directed have thy pilgrim feet | E |
| Explor'd the scenes of Ermenonville ROUSSEAU | F |
| Loved these calm haunts of Solitude and Peace | G |
| Here he has heard the murmurs of the stream | H |
| And the soft rustling of the poplar grove | I |
| When o'er their bending boughs the passing wind | J |
| Swept a grey shade Here if thy breast be full | K |
| If in thine eye the tear devout should gush | L |
| His SPIRIT shall behold thee to thine home | M |
| From hence returning purified of heart | N |
