Associations Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGG| As o'er these hills I take my silent rounds | A |
| Still on that vision which is flown I dwell | B |
| On images I loved alas too well | B |
| Now past and but remembered like sweet sounds | A |
| Of yesterday Yet in my breast I keep | C |
| Such recollections painful though they seem | D |
| And hours of joy retrace till from my dream | D |
| I start and find them not then I could weep | C |
| To think how Fortune blights the fairest flowers | E |
| To think how soon life's first endearments fail | F |
| And we are still misled by Hope's smooth tale | F |
| Who like a flatterer when the happiest hours | E |
| Pass and when most we call on her to stay | G |
| Will fly as faithless and as fleet as they | G |
