Salisbury Cathedral Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDEEDEDF G| Here stood the city of the dead look round | A |
| Dost thou not mark a visionary band | B |
| Druids and bards upon the summits stand | B |
| Of the majestic and time hallowed mound | A |
| Hark heard ye not at times the acclaiming word | C |
| Of harps as when those bards in white array | D |
| Hailed the ascending lord of light and day | D |
| Here o'er the clouds the first cathedral rose | E |
| Whose prelates now in yonder fane repose | E |
| Among the mighty of years passed away | D |
| For there her latest seat Religion chose | E |
| There still to heaven ascends the holy lay | D |
| And never may those shrines in dust and silence close | F |
