Lines, Written On The Sixth Of September Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEF GHDIJAKHL MNOHMP| Ill Fated hour oft as thy annual reign | A |
| Leads on th'autumnal tide my pinion'd joys | B |
| Fade with the glories of the fading year | C |
| Remembrance 'wakes with all her busy train | A |
| And bids affection heave the heart drawn sigh | D |
| O'er the cold tomb rich with the spoils of death | E |
| And wet with many a tributary tear | F |
| - | |
| Eight times has each successive season sway'd | G |
| The fruitful sceptre of our milder clime | H |
| Since My Loved died but why ah why | D |
| Should melancholy cloud my early years | I |
| Religion spurns earth's visionary scene | J |
| Philosophy revolts at misery's chain | A |
| Just Heaven recall'd it's own the pilgrim call'd | K |
| From human woes from sorrow's rankling worm | H |
| Shall frailty then prevail | L |
| - | |
| Oh be it mine | M |
| To curb the sigh which bursts o'er Heaven's decree | N |
| To tread the path of rectitude that when | O |
| Life's dying ray shall glimmer in the frame | H |
| That latest breath I may in peace resign | M |
| Firm in the faith of seeing thee and God | P |
