The Dreary Change {the Sun Upon The Weirdlaw Hill} Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHIH JCJCKAKA| The sun upon the Weirdlaw Hill | A |
| In Ettrick's vale is sinking sweet | B |
| The westland wind is hush and still | A |
| The lake lies sleeping at my feet | B |
| Yet not the landscape to mine eye | C |
| Bears those bright hues that once it bore | D |
| Though evening with her richest dye | C |
| Flames o'er the hills of Ettrick's shore | D |
| - | |
| With listless look along the plain | E |
| I see Tweed's silver current glide | F |
| And coldly mark the holy fane | E |
| Of Melrose rise in ruin'd pride | F |
| The quiet lake the balmy air | G |
| The hill the stream the tower the tree | H |
| Are they still such as once they were | I |
| Or is the dreary change in me | H |
| - | |
| Alas the warp'd and broken board | J |
| How can it bear the painter's dye | C |
| The harp of strain'd and tuneless chord | J |
| How to the minstrel's skill reply | C |
| To aching eyes each landscape lowers | K |
| To feverish pulse each gale blows chill | A |
| And Araby's or Eden's bowers | K |
| Were barren as this moorland hill | A |
