At Furness Abbey Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEDFEF| Here where of havoc tired and rash undoing | A |
| Man left this Structure to become Time's prey | B |
| A soothing spirit follows in the way | B |
| That Nature takes her counter work pursuing | A |
| See how her Ivy clasps the sacred Ruin | C |
| Fall to prevent or beautify decay | B |
| And on the mouldered walls how bright how gay | B |
| The flowers in pearly dews their bloom renewing | A |
| Thanks to the place blessings upon the hour | D |
| Even as I speak the rising Sun's first smile | E |
| Gleams on the grass crowned top of yon tall Tower | D |
| Whose cawing occupants with joy proclaim | F |
| Prescriptive title to the shattered pile | E |
| Where Cavendish 'thine' seems nothing but a name | F |
