Inscription Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFFGGHHIIJJKLAB| Come and where these runnels fall | A |
| Listen to my madrigal | B |
| Far from all sounds of all the strife | C |
| That murmur through the walks of life | C |
| From grief inquietude and fears | D |
| From scenes of riot or of tears | E |
| From passions cankering day by day | F |
| That wear the inmost heart away | F |
| From pale Detraction's envious spite | G |
| That worries where it fears to bite | G |
| From mad Ambition's worldly chase | H |
| Come and in this shady place | H |
| Be thine Contentment's humble joys | I |
| And a life that makes no noise | I |
| Save when fancy musing long | J |
| Turns to desultory song | J |
| And wakes some lonely melody | K |
| Like the water dripping by | L |
| Come and where these runnels fall | A |
| Listen to my madrigal | B |
