By The Side Of Rydal Mere Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBBEEBBBB FFGGBBHHIIIJJJ KKLMNNIIIIOOOBBIII| The linnet's warble sinking towards a close | A |
| Hints to the thrush 'tis time for their repose | B |
| The shrill voiced thrush is heedless and again | C |
| The monitor revives his own sweet strain | D |
| But both will soon be mastered and the copse | B |
| Be left as silent as the mountain tops | B |
| Ere some commanding star dismiss to rest | E |
| The throng of rooks that now from twig or nest | E |
| After a steady flight on home bound wings | B |
| And a last game of mazy hoverings | B |
| Around their ancient grove with cawing noise | B |
| Disturb the liquid music's equipoise | B |
| - | |
| O Nightingale Who ever heard thy song | F |
| Might here be moved till Fancy grows so strong | F |
| That listening sense is pardonably cheated | G |
| Where wood or stream by thee was never greeted | G |
| Surely from fairest spots of favoured lands | B |
| Were not some gifts withheld by jealous hands | B |
| This hour of deepening darkness here would be | H |
| As a fresh morning for new harmony | H |
| And lays as prompt would hail the dawn of Night | I |
| A 'dawn' she has both beautiful and bright | I |
| When the East kindles with the full moon's light | I |
| Not like the rising sun's impatient glow | J |
| Dazzling the mountains but an overflow | J |
| Of solemn splendour in mutation slow | J |
| - | |
| Wanderer by spring with gradual progress led | K |
| For sway profoundly felt as widely spread | K |
| To king to peasant to rough sailor dear | L |
| And to the soldier's trumpet wearied ear | M |
| How welcome wouldst thou be to this green Vale | N |
| Fairer than Tempe Yet sweet Nightingale | N |
| From the warm breeze that bears thee on alight | I |
| At will and stay thy migratory flight | I |
| Build at thy choice or sing by pool or fount | I |
| Who shall complain or call thee to account | I |
| The wisest happiest of our kind are they | O |
| That ever walk content with Nature's way | O |
| God's goodness measuring bounty as it may | O |
| For whom the gravest thought of what they miss | B |
| Chastening the fullness of a present bliss | B |
| Is with that wholesome office satisfied | I |
| While unrepining sadness is allied | I |
| In thankful bosoms to a modest pride | I |
