A Garden-seat At Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABBBBCDECFFGHHGIJ| Oh no I would not leave thee my sweet home | A |
| Decked with the mantling woodbine and the rose | B |
| And slender woods that the still scene inclose | B |
| For yon magnificent and ample dome | A |
| That glitters in my sight yet I can praise | B |
| Thee Arundel who shunning the thronged ways | B |
| Of glittering vice silently dost dispense | B |
| The blessings of retired munificence | B |
| Me a sequestered cottage on the verge | C |
| Of thy outstretched domain delights and here | D |
| I wind my walks and sometimes drop a tear | E |
| O'er Harriet's urn scarce wishing to emerge | C |
| Into the troubled ocean of that life | F |
| Where all is turbulence and toil and strife | F |
| Calm roll the seasons o'er my shaded niche | G |
| I dip the brush or touch the tuneful string | H |
| Or hear at eve the unscared blackbirds sing | H |
| Enough if from their loftier sphere the rich | G |
| Deign my abode to visit and the poor | I |
| Depart not cold and hungry from my door | J |
