Written At Stonehenge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEDEDE| Thou noblest monument of Albion's isle | A |
| Whether by Merlin's aid from Scythia's shore | B |
| To Amber's fatal plain Pendragon bore | B |
| Huge frame of giant hands the mighty pile | A |
| T' entomb his Britons slain by Hengist's guile | A |
| Or Druid priests sprinkled with human gore | B |
| Taught 'mid thy massy maze their mystic lore | B |
| Or Danish chiefs enrich'd with savage spoil | C |
| To Victory's idol vast an unhewn shrine | D |
| Rear'd the rude heap or in thy hallow'd round | E |
| Repose the kings of Brutus' genuine line | D |
| Or here those kings in solemn state were crown'd | E |
| Studious to trace thy wondrous origine | D |
| We muse on many an ancient tale renown'd | E |
