Ix. O Poverty! Though From Thy Haggard Eye... Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFEGEG| O POVERTY though from thy haggard eye | A |
| Thy cheerless mein of every charm bereft | B |
| Thy brow that hope's last traces long have left | B |
| Vain Fortune's feeble sons with terror fly | A |
| Thy rugged paths with pleasure I attend | C |
| For Fancy that with fairest dreams can bless | D |
| And Patience in the Pall of Wretchedness | D |
| Sad smiling as the ruthless storms descend | C |
| And Piety forgiving every wrong | E |
| And meek Content whose griefs no more rebel | F |
| And Genius warbling sweet her saddest song | E |
| And Pity list'ning to the poor man's knell | G |
| Long banish'd from the world's insulting throng | E |
| With Thee and loveliest Melancholy dwell | G |
