An Invocation Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABACDEFGHIBAJAAAKL MNO| WE are what suns and winds and waters make us | A |
| The mountains are our sponsors and the rills | A |
| Fashion and win their nursling with their smiles | A |
| But where the land is dim from tyranny | B |
| There tiny pleasures occupy the place | A |
| Of glories and of duties as the feet | C |
| Of fabled faeries when the sun goes down | D |
| Trip o er the grass where wrestlers strove by day | E |
| Then Justice call d the Eternal One above | F |
| Is more inconstant than the buoyant form | G |
| That burst into existence from the froth | H |
| Of ever varying ocean what is best | I |
| Then becomes worst what loveliest most deform d | B |
| The heart is hardest in the softest climes | A |
| The passions flourish the affections die | J |
| O thou vast tablet of these awful truths | A |
| That fillest all the space between the seas | A |
| Spreading from Venice s deserted courts | A |
| To the Tarentine and Hydruntine mole | K |
| What lifts thee up what shakes thee t is the breath | L |
| Of God Awake ye nations spring to life | M |
| Let the last work of his right hand appear | N |
| Fresh with his image Man | O |
