On A Ruined House In A Romantic Country Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEDDEDD| And this reft house is that the which he built | A |
| Lamented Jack And here his malt he pil'd | B |
| Cautious in vain These rats that squeak so wild | B |
| Squeak not unconscious of their father's guilt | A |
| Did ye not see her gleaming thro' the glade | C |
| Belike 'twas she the maiden all forlorn | D |
| What though she milk no cow with crumpled horn | D |
| Yet aye she haunts the dale where erst she stray'd | C |
| And aye beside her stalks her amorous knight | E |
| Still on his thighs their wonted brogues are worn | D |
| And thro' those brogues still tatter'd and betorn | D |
| His hindward charms gleam an unearthly white | E |
| As when thro' broken clouds at night's high noon | D |
| Peeps in fair fragments forth the full orb'd harvest moon | D |
