Solitude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDAAAAAAAAAAEEAA FFEEAAGGHHAAIIFFJJAA KKAALL

Where the mocking lyre bird callsA
To its mate among the fallsA
Of the mountain streams that playB
Each adown its tortuous wayB
When the dewy fingered evenC
Veils the narrowed glimpse of heavenD
Where the morning re illumesA
Gullies full of ferny plumesA
And the roof of radiance weavesA
Through high hanging vault of leavesA
There mid giant turpentinesA
Groups of climbing clustering vinesA
Rocks that stand like sentinelsA
Guarding native citadelsA
Lowly flowering shrubs that graceA
With their beauty all the placeA
There I love to wander lonelyE
With my dog companion onlyE
There indulge unworldly moodsA
In the mountain solitudesA
Far from all the gilded strifeF
Of our boasted social lifeF
Contemplating spirit freeE
The majestic companyE
Grandly marching through the agesA
Heroes martyrs bards and sagesA
They who bravely suffered longG
By their struggles waxing strongG
For the freedom of the mindH
For the rights of humankindH
Oh for some awakening causeA
Where we face eternal lawsA
Where we dare not turn asideI
Where the souls of men are triedI
Something of a nobler strifeF
Which consumes the dross of lifeF
To unite to truer aimJ
To exalt to loftier fameJ
Leave behind the bats and ballsA
Leave the racers in the stallsA
Leave the cards for ever shuffledK
Leave the yacht on seas unruffledK
Leave the haunts of pampered easeA
Leave your dull festivitiesA
Better far the savage glenL
Fitter school for earnest menL
