A New Pilgrimage: Sonnet Xxi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDBDEFEGHH| To Switzerland the land of lakes and snow | A |
| And ancient freedom of ancestral type | B |
| And modern innkeepers who cringe and bow | C |
| And venal echoes and Pans paid to pipe | B |
| See I am come And here in vineyards ripe | B |
| With sweet white grapes I will sit down and read | D |
| Once more the loves of Rousseau till I wipe | B |
| My eyes in tenderness for names long dead | D |
| This is the birthplace of all sentiment | E |
| The fount of modern tears These hills in me | F |
| Stir what still lives of fancy reverent | E |
| For Mother Nature Here Time's minstrelsy | G |
| Awoke some century since one sunny morn | H |
| To find Earth fortunate and Man forlorn | H |
