Benlomond Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHI| Hadst thou a genius on thy peak | A |
| What tales white headed Ben | B |
| Could'st thou of ancient ages speak | A |
| That mock th' historian's pen | B |
| - | |
| Thy long duration makes our livea | C |
| Seem but so many hours | D |
| And likens to the bees' frail hives | E |
| Our most stupendous towers | D |
| - | |
| Temples and towers thou seest begun | F |
| New creeds new conquerers sway | G |
| And like their shadows in the sun | F |
| Hast seen them swept away | G |
| - | |
| Thy steadfast summit heaven allied | H |
| Unlike life's little span | I |
| Looks down a mentor on the pride | H |
| Of perishable man | I |
