Study In Solitude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCC DEDEEFEFF BGBGGBGBB| 'Tis true in midst of all there may arise | A |
| For man's society a sudden thirst | B |
| A sense of hopeless vacancy which dries | A |
| The spirit with a loneliness accurst | B |
| A longing irresistible to burst | B |
| The branchy brake with other birds to sing | C |
| Or as from where in solemn shades immerst | B |
| The beetle comes to wanton on the wing | C |
| Around my lamplight flame alas poor foolish thing | C |
| - | |
| But here thou may'st associate though alone | D |
| With worthiest men the best of every age | E |
| Through whom the universe of thought has grown | D |
| To what it is the noble good and sage | E |
| How vain the fret how frivolous the rage | E |
| For social rank when thus e'en monarchs deign | F |
| In close communion gladly to engage | E |
| Nay more than monarchs Still the Mantuan swain | F |
| His fadeless laurel wears What crowned Augustus' reign | F |
| - | |
| A thing of gold 'tis crumbled in the dust | B |
| The crowns of sovereigns and their sceptres all | G |
| Decay and are forgotten Who would trust | B |
| His fame to what fleet ruin must inthral | G |
| Tombs will obliterate and columns fall | G |
| Annals be lost and nothing have remained | B |
| Of dynasties The Conqueror of Gaul | G |
| And Lord of the World may yet have only reigned | B |
| By Shakspere's suff'rance What hath all the rest attained | B |
