On Resigning A Scholarship Of Trinity College, Oxford, And Retiring To A Country Curacy. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCCBDEDFDF| Farewell a long farewell O Poverty | A |
| Affection's fondest dream how hast thou reft | A |
| But though on thy stern brow no trace is left | A |
| Of youthful joys that on the cold heart die | A |
| With thee a sad companionship I seek | B |
| Content if poor for patient wretchedness | C |
| Tearful but uncomplaining of distress | C |
| Who turns to the rude storm her faded cheek | B |
| And Piety who never told her wrong | D |
| And calm Content whose griefs no more rebel | E |
| And Genius warbling sweet his saddest song | D |
| When evening listens to some village knell | F |
| Long banished from the world's insulting throng | D |
| With thee and thy unfriended children dwell | F |
