The Landskip Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGHHow pleas'd within my native bowers | A |
Erewhile I pass'd the day | B |
Was ever scene so deck'd with flowers | A |
Were ever flowers so gay | B |
- | |
How sweetly smil'd the hill the vale | C |
And all the landskip round | D |
The river gliding down the dale | C |
The hill with beeches crown'd | D |
- | |
But now when urg'd by tender woes | E |
I speed to meet my dear | F |
That hill and stream my zeal oppose | E |
And check my fond career | F |
- | |
No more since Daphne was my theme | G |
Their wonted charms I see | H |
That verdant hill and silver stream | G |
Divide my love and me | H |
