Porlock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEEDCFGC| Porlock thy verdant vale so fair to sight | A |
| Thy lofty hills which fern and furze imbrown | B |
| The waters that roll musically down | B |
| Thy woody glens the traveller with delight | A |
| Recalls to memory and the channel grey | C |
| Circling its surges in thy level bay | C |
| Porlock I shall forget thee not | D |
| Here by the unwelcome summer rain confined | E |
| But often shall hereafter call to mind | E |
| How here a patient prisoner 'twas my lot | D |
| To wear the lonely lingering close of day | C |
| Making my sonnet by the alehouse fire | F |
| Whilst Idleness and Solitude inspire | G |
| Dull rhymes to pass the duller hours away | C |
