Lines Written On Fonthill Abbey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHIIJJ| The mighty master waved his wand and lo | A |
| On the astonished eye the glorious show | A |
| Burst like a vision Spirit of the place | B |
| Has the Arabian wizard with his mace | B |
| Smitten the barren downs far onward spread | C |
| And bade the enchanted palace rise instead | C |
| Bade the dark woods their solemn shades extend | D |
| High to the clouds yon spiry tower ascend | D |
| And starting from the umbrageous avenue | E |
| Spread the rich pile magnificent to view | E |
| Enter From the arched portal look again | F |
| Back on the lessening woods and distant plain | G |
| Ascend the steps The high and fretted roof | H |
| Is woven by some elfin hand aloof | H |
| Whilst from the painted windows' long array | I |
| A mellow light is shed as not of day | I |
| How gorgeous all Oh never may the spell | J |
| Be broken that arrayed those radiant forms so well | J |
